If you have the complete diff, just bolt it in. Same axle pretty much

Brake lines??

If the axle already has it, you just need to bolt the center tbird line up to the center mustang hard line.

As for E-brake, i am not sure

the center line from the tbird axle will not bolt to the stock line you will have to swap your stock lines and bend them. You will also have to drill holes for the quad shocks plus the other upgrades, like new MC adapt the 3 lines to 2 line get adjust prop valve. Do a search on google there are some good sites about the swap
