hello all, i havnt been on here in a week or so since the stroker started humming good, been pretty busy still ironing out a few things here and there and i put my 4.10 rear end back in the car havnt got around to taking another video of it yet but ill get to it here in the next day or so.

as i was installing my 4.10 axle back in the car i started lookin at the brakes and they pretty are beat down so i got to thinkin about how nice it would be if i had rear disc's. well it didnt hit me at first but ive got a bone stock sn95 sittin in the driveway that i could use for donor parts if i really wanted to so that brought up a few questions.

ive read that the need to swap the entire rear axle from a sn95 over to a fox isnt required and you can just swap over the axles and brakes from one axle to the other, is that right?

i have 4 lug cobra r wheels on my fox right now but im kinda tired of them on my fox and wouldnt mind a new look and they would probably look pretty sweet on my sn95.

is this a really stupid idea or a pretty good one since i have basicly everything i would need to swap the 2 around. im not really worried about taking away from the sn95 at all, im 100 times more concerned about improving my fox, so could i basicly take everything off the sn95 and put it on the fox and then take everything from the fox and install it on the sn95?

also can i use the k member brace off the sn95 on my fox or will it not fit? its the stock brace that came on the car.

thanks for the link, ever since i posted this thread i have been doing searchs and i ran across that one earlier, this other one i read was really indepth regarding swapping the booster and master cylinder etc. seems like a complete pita but then again ive never drove a fox with this conversion done so it could be well worth it

o yea... have you done the conversion? if so can you give me any pointers?

this is the best write up that i have found so far.

Dugger Racing - Mustangs and a whole lot more!

i read on another article that it is smarter to just swap the banjo bolts from one caliper to the other vs trying to swap the lines going to the calipers themselves (front) but i havnt found anything on if i can just use the entire exsisting brake lines off the sn95 on the rear of the fox and vise versa when i put the fox stuff on the sn95. also will the e brake cables transfer over?
