ok guys I have a 1990 LX with a swapped 351w, I am trying to figure out if 5.0 parts will fit on the 4 cyl chassis, mainly the shocks, struts, and front brakes? I already installed the rear shocks for a 5.0 on the rear axle and they seem fine, installed fine and fit properly, haven't had a chance to drive it on them but they seem ok, I'm just wondering if I will have any issues using the 5.0 front struts on the 4 cyl chassis, and if I were to buy 5.0 brake rotors and pads would those work without issue? Or would I have to also buy 5.0 calipers? any and all help would be appreciated.
I know the rear axle on the 5.0 has slightly different shock mounts than the 4 cyl but that essentially install the same way so again I just making sure it is safe to run them or if I should return them and order the 4 cyl ones. mainly im just trying to upgrade the suspension from the 4 cyl pieces to handle the 351 better.
