Fox Body 5.0's running can be had for under $1,000 so you would be miles ahead just finding a complete running GT.

its hard to find one in good running order thats y i wanted to know cause i can get the 95 gt running for 500 buks so i was wandering if the rear would bolt up if i have to get a gt fox body and do the swap i will i plan on going carb also

Yes it will bolt up, but the axles are a little longer on the '95 (disc brakes). I'm not sure how much longer, maybe 1" or 1 1/2". I believe you can switch to drivers side ranger or bronco II axles. You'll have to do a search for that, or go with different rims ( backspacing ).

it really depends on the price of the drivetrain. all you would need to change over are stuff like intake, throttle body and so on, i would grab it if the price is right

i'm using spindles from a 95 v6 and they're the same as v8, so yeah, you'll just need to stack some thick washers (.330 in i think) i used 4 of the biggest ones i could find a lowes to compensate the lower ball joints, or just use sn95 ball joints.

i put strange 10 way adjustable struts up front and monroe sensitracs in in the rear. i first cut my front springs a coil and a half, and then later when i had money i put the pro kit on. if you cut them you might do a coil first then check it then cut another half at a time
