Title: What parts fit and what parts don't
Post by: joemac on June 02, 2009, 07:25:51 PM

Hi, all. I am planning my next project and leaning towards a fox tbird. I have been searching for a while and cannot find any definitive lists of fox body mustang parts that fit or don't fit.

So from my research I have concluded that any suspension parts are bolt on. K members, control arms front and rear, rear ends, springs, shocks and struts. I know all of the drive train is the same. For exhaust the headers and h/x pipe are the same but there are no aftermarket solutions to the tail pipes, is this correct? Will the mini tub kits fit? What about drive shafts and sub frame connectors? Finally what about fox mustang interiors. I know the seats are compatible, what about dashes and door panels?

How about parts that are known NOT to fit?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

wrong... http://www.stinger-performance.com has tbird/cougar specific tails.

Edit: http://www.stinger-performance.com/headerparts.html scroll down almost to the bottom of the page and you will find them in 2.5" and 3"

I have dug around here a little. Other than the article about rear control arms, I don't see a whole lot about specific parts. I was looking for more like a sticky or something. I guess I could try to sift through a couple of the build threads but some of them are 50+ pages with a lot of chit chat. Are there any specific threads you could direct me to?

I'm not wrong, I was asking a question not making a statement. Thanks for the link though, that is what I was looking for.

I wasnt saying that you in general were wrong. just figuratively speaking. the tails were mocked up on my TC at stinger.

Understood, They look like nice pieces. So the fox body mustang headers and h/x pipe fit ok?

Do you have a build thread on your car?

Cool, that is a good list. It sounds like the sn95 suspension will bolt on as an option for a 5 lug swap.
