Yes you will have rubbing problems with the Lincoln rear end. Each stock LSC rear axle is 1.5" longer than a Fox axle and 0.75 " longer than a SN 95 axle.

Look for a 87-88 Tbird Turbo Coupe rear end - 8.8" with 3.55 or 3.73 gears and 10" disk brakes. It's a simple installation.

Here is a link to convert the Lincoln calipers, brackets and rotors to fit a Fox Mustang with Ranger axles.

I don't think it's too hard. I have all the pieces from an 88 LSC and two Ranger axles. I was going to do the conversion and use it on my car but I decided I'm going to go with the Cobra brakes. While I have my car apart I may modify the LSC brackets and sell the whole Lincoln set-up.

Curious since I might be getting two Mark VII's to part out but do Mustang guys use ANYTHING besides the front calipers from the Mark VII setups?

I have the flipped modified Lincoln rear setup on my car. Pretty good for a cheap disc brake conversion - I have about $150 - 180 total in it with new rotors included.

thats what i have, and i must say the thing stopps on a dime! it's also very easy to convert to 5-lug if you want. be careful though, the t/c rear is a little wider as well.
