First we need to know more about what parts were used for the swap, is it a sn95 housing or parts swapped to the fox 8.8.

Just got my first car and I need help finding an E brake for it, it has disc brakes drilled and slotted and its 5 lug. What all do I need to finish the car I just bought?
Nice score! The four eyes keep growing on me more and more, I cant tell you the last time I've seen a T Top car in person.

Nice score! I’m envious as my ‘86 GT doesn’t look nearly as good!
While it is in the air, get one of the front end of the ebrake cable. The point where the 2 cables meet.
Lol that’s the thing there are no cables here

Replacing the IAC helped my surging idle, and it was gone when the tuner worked his magic.
IAC is clean but man I just bought this and now its shifting bad too im so pissed, my first car man, I need to go get it tuned i guess
lol
so about the E brake can I get SVO cables and just have the handle fabbed

The ‘86 emergency brake handle pulls a cable that is attached to the cables running to the rear wheels. Obviously you don’t have the cables going to the wheels, and it sounds like you don’t have the brake handle. Do you have the ratchet assembly and front cable? Check Craig’s List or FB Marketplace for someone parting out an ‘86 or earlier for those parts. I’m not familiar with the SN95 rear discs, so someone else will have to respond to what cables and brackets are needed there.
You'll have to id the set up you have, go here through this thread, you may find the answer.

I'm including the Mustang parking brake pages from the 1986 Shop Manual to show you what the mechanism looks like and how the cables are routed. Obviously you'll need different cables to the rear wheels, along with the necessary brackets for your rear discs. You'll also need to get under it to see how much of the original mechanism is there.
