what i thought? just wanted to make sure. how would you swap the gears if you could into a i have a posi 3.73 into a 94 mustang 8.8??

What are you trying to do exactly?

bubba-dough · May 28, 2009

Yes its an 8.8. So you want to swap gears from a 90 to a 94? Its much more involved than just pulling the parts from one and putting into the other. It will need a complete set-up which is a pita for the beginner.

well i was going to do a 5 lug conversion. but i wanted to go to disc brakes in the back. Is there a simpler way than putting in a new rear end???

BigDanTheMan · May 29, 2009

this is how you go 5lug and keep the rear drums:
5-Lug Coversion Kit - '79-'93 Ford Mustang
this is perhaps more popular, but much more elaborate and has rear discs:
Cobra R Disc Brake Conversion Kit - '79-'93 Ford Mustang

lastly there is the junkyard part swap option too which is out of my expertise of buying expensive stuff and having it professionally installed.

i just did the swap a couple weeks ago. Its not too bad. pretty straight forward actually. I am just trying to find a set of rims that have enough backspacing now

it pushes out the wheels .75" on each side.

93 cobra spindles, calipers, and rotor. it isnt that great of a mod, but its a hug upgrade to the crapy 86 stock brakes. i bought the parts from a guy parting out a 93 cobra a while back

I think it's just the rotors that are diffrent on Cobra's. The spindles and calipers are the same as the GT and LX's.
