Hi all....was wondering if someone out there can help me out. I picked up a 86 t-top 5.0 stang for almost nothing. Putting together a nice project car but at a budget. My question is.....I have a 94 mustang, 5.0 that was wrecked in a head on hit. Not serious, but a total loss. so I wanted to know if I could take the the entire braking system and suspenison system and install it into my 86. Is that possible..?????? We there be down sides..??? I will be doing all the work, so do you think I would get stuck someplace.???? As for the rear, I wanted to just swap out the entire rear end for the 94 unit. as it already has a set of 4.10 in them. I also thought since I have a nice set of cobra wheels, I wanted the 5 lug set-up as well. Any help would be Great.....thanks.!!
