1987 Mustang 5 Lug Conversion

[SteveEH]

Use 94/95 stuff only.

So if I can find a parts car at a scrapyard that is fully intact, I can just rip everything off of it, would that be the best solution?

don't use 1996 and up spindles = bumpsteer problem and tires will likely rub when you have OEM Fox control arms and k member

Coles notes version

Front

94/95 spindles
Cobra calipers etc or '99 GT are a good option
Master cyl and line kit from MM
Adjustable prop valve

Rear

North Race Car brackets
NRC axles
Cobra or GT rear brakes (NRC sells brackets for both)
Park brake, either FMS cables or 94 up cables with the correct tunnel bracket mounted.
Mod parking brake

Over on GTAMC, Dil is selling a FMS kit, priced very right and includes shipping
Good guy to deal with.

That part I understood, 96 and over are wider then 94-95.

Only use 95 stuff up front. This is using cobra brake SN95 spindals and fox length a-arms, SN95 rear axle (.75" wider per side) and brakes, I'm using cobra fronts and 95 GT rear with a brake bias dial under the hood. Rick did most of the work on this and then did it again after the shattered the rear axles into tiny pieces at the track. 18x9 up front 5.95 bs, 18x10 out back 7.25 bs the 96+ stuff is too wide front or back unless you like fender flares.

+1 for dealing with Dil (Brent). He did some work on my car when I lived in NB. A very knowledgable fellow to deal with.

This is the look I like, she likes the look too, but she doesn't think I can do the swap for under $1,000. The M2300k kit posted above is nice, but is not needed right now, in her eyes as well as mine, at least, not right now. I just figure we can get the 5 lug swap down, and then upgrade later on when we find the Kijiji deals. She knows I can find the deals, heck, I found my full exhaust for $500, sold the parts I had and made over $650 back when said and done.
