Title: mark 5 lug to cougar 4?
Post by: Haystack on August 29, 2006, 06:11:55 AM
I have a 84-85 7.5" axle that I am trying to swap into my car. The problem is, I am moving and dont have any 5-lugs that will fit it. I need to get rid of an axle, and I would rather have a 25,000 mile 3.73 rear from a car that got smashed up front, then a who knows 2.73 rear. Is there any way to make it so that the 4 lug shaft will slid into the mark rear? Can I used the 10" drums from my cougar axle on the mark one as well? Anyone able to help me out here?

The early Mk7 7.5 axle housing is the same as the Mustang one which is the same as the 83-85 Tbird/Cougar 7.5. The only difference is the length of the axles.  If your Cougar 7.5 is an 86-88, then the axles and stuff you have won't work.
