I have purchased the WC34876 and WCA37862 in hopes that maybe I am getting it right, but I don't think I am. The old thread on the Corral calls out for WAGNER WC 34876, but it doesn't seem those are 15/16"....maybe it was a typo and the upgrade is supposed to be a 13/16" wheel cylinder?‘89 Ford Bronco had the 15/16” wheel cylinders.
Thing is I don’t know the compatibility with the Mustang drum brake. Given they are $10 each on Rockauto, might be worth buying one to test out.

I am doing this for the possibility, if I upgrade to the SVO front calipers on my '91 GT.
If I just go with the 73mm calipers and leave the wheel cylinders alone, could I still use the OEM master cylinder?Keep in mind if you go with the 73mm calipers and these larger wheel cylinders, you would need a proportionally larger MC otherwise you will have a very soft pedal feel and long stroke
I am staying 4 lug, so my choices are limited!I’d did the SVO / Mark VII front caliper swap and to tell you the truth it was a waste of time and money. Buy some good pads for the stock calipers and move on.

Choices limited? In pads or rotors or calipers?I am staying 4 lug, so my choices are limited!

I did 4 lug on SN spindles. Then when I wanted to go 5 lug it was just a hub and rotor change (I happened to go XTS Brembos too, but I didn't to). By going SN spindle you can use any caliper that will work with those spindles for 5 lug. Then the choice is what size wheel/rotor you want to go with?
I had 11.34" front rotors (which required a 16" wheel) but could have easy kept the factory turbines.
94/95 spindles will only move your rim out 1/8". If you relocate your lower control arm inboard for better suspension geometry you will actually be in under the fender more than you are today.
I have some other questions. I havent got the vehicle yet, but Im looking at a 1983-85 5.0L Stang. I know I'll probably have to swap out the rear end to the 8.8, and I dont want to mess with the SN95 concerns.Deleted.
Why don't you go ahead and do rear discs?I have some other questions. I havent got the vehicle yet, but Im looking at a 1983-85 5.0L Stang. I know I'll probably have to swap out the rear end to the 8.8, and I dont want to mess with the SN95 concerns.
These are the parts I picked out. Can you confirm its all good for these early mid 80s 4 Eyed Stangs?
1987-1993 5.0L Stang Spindles
1987-1993 5.0L Struts
1987-93 Front Control Arms
1986 Lincoln Town Car Brake Master Cylinder
1986 Lincoln Town Car Calipers
1986 Mustang SVO 5 lug front rotors
1983-92 LH Side 5 Lug Rear Axle Shafts Ford Ranger Part # E3TZ-4234-C
Now if I could find out what 10" drum kits would bolt up to the 8.8 and stock Mustang rear brake setups, that would help. The 10 inch drum set was what was tied with the front disc brake setups on the Lincolns I chose.
