Have the Ford Motorsport 5 lug kit (but drum brakes) info needed to convert to disc?

[Boss 351]

Hi, thanks for looking.

As the subject says, I have the Ford Racing M-1126-A 5-Lug Rear Drum/Axle Kit-28T. Front has the 87+ spindle and Mark VII rotor/caliper.

My question is:

How do I upgrade the rear to disc brakes, can I reuse the axles, can it be as easy as adding plates, discs and calipers? Can the M-2300-M kit fit the fox 8.8 with the M-1126-A axles?

For the front, I want to get SN95 spindles and the big brake upgrade... But my main concern is the rear, I hate the look of drum brakes...

You have two options....well 3 if you wanted to get SN95 94-98 axles


#1) Get the M-2300-M kit, and modify the axle flange to use the fox-lenght axles. This involves cutting the flange and mounting it on the backside. There is a good tech thread i can send if you are interested

#2) Buy the M-2300-M kit and sell the axle brackets. You can prob get $50-75 for them on ebay. Then, purchase aftermarke brackets from north race cars for Cobra rear disks

Them it would be the same as any other Sn95 brake job. You'll need e-brake hardware, calipers, mc, booster, 3-2 kit, prop valve, etc etc.
