Physically it bolts right in. It will be wide though. Normally unless you use fox style disc brackets you push the wheels out .75 inches on either side. The 99+ is slightly wider than the.94-98 years pushing them out even farther.

1986 - 1998 Mustang 8.8 Rear Housings are exactly the same, but the 1999 - 2004 are Physically Wider and if memory serves me the Control Arm Bolts are also a Different Diameter.
