anyone know....
i was wondering if parts off say a 2000ish gt would bolt right up to a 88 fox body,parts im meaning are like the rack and pinon,fuel tank,rearend, front spindles/brakes,driveshaft,going with a 306 and t-56 trans. im just wondering if it would be better for me to find a wrecked mustang around 2000 ish,and take the parts off that,to complete my rebuild,i have stripped my car down to nothing,need to buy pretty much everything listed.thanks alot

Im running 2000 GT front spindles on my car, along with the 2000 gt front and rear brake. So i know that'll work.

Almost nothing will be useful off of that car
Even the spindles and the rear push the tires out too far for comfort.
The fuel system is different too.

Yes, you can find a few odds and ends to use, but not nearly enough to buy a whole parts car.
