pretty direct for mark 7 rear axle shafts and brake stuff into a tc rear rite? nothing major to worry about? hopefully ill be going soon.
You mean like this?? No problems at all, just swap shafts brackets and brakes. :headbang:
I always thought that the Mark VII axles were too long for a T-Bird housing. I know the rear width ( to ) on a Mark is about 1.5" wider than a T-Bird or Cougar
Me too, but after I swapped the shafts and brakes, they measured out the same as the TC axle and brakes. I even put my Mach1 wheels on and had plenty of clearance. Go figure :)
I think the housings are the same width, but the axle shafts vary in size.
Or for an easier to find swap, SN95 rears are a perfect match
Ed did that same swap on his '87 and didn't recommend going with Mark VII brakes on a TC-width axle. He had problems with clearance.
85-91 Mark7 axles are 1/2" wider per side than TC or 94-98 SN-95 axles.
