I have an 88 tc, and a supercoupe sitting in my yard I got for free, guy wanted 300 bucks for it till a road grater got it. Any way look at all the 5 lug conversion stuff, how does the Supercoupe brakes and front spindles compare to a 94-5 mustang? (I also have one of those I bought for 200 bucks in my yard). I was looking at doing the irs swap if it isn't gonna be a huge pain.
I don't think anybody has ever put IRS on one of the fox cars...but the MN12 suspension setup is completely different from the foxes. If you really wanted IRS, I bet one from an 03-04 cobra would work better, but probably not much.
You could put the SC engine in your TC if you wanted to though. Somebody on coolcats.net has a cougar with a 3.8SC setup.
It already has a 331 stroker in it.
oh dang. Got dyno numbers, track numbers or anything?
The MN-12 front brakes are , and not compatible anyway.
The IRS is not a bolt-in. It's been done before, but it's a custom deal.
Bolt pattern between the MN-12s and 5-lug Mustangs is not the same, either. 5 x 4.25" vs. 5 x 4.5"
There are in fact
three on this board with a cobra IRS under their thundercat. Possibly one more, but not sure the fourth one ever got past the research phase.
well dadgum. I had no idea...that's pretty cool. Do you know which three?
Hmm well it appears as if I needed to ask an additional question...:flip:

The fourth is booksix (http://"http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com/member.php?1136-booksix"). It is listed in his sig, and we exchanged PM's, but I dont remember him posting much if anything on the forums about the swap
:bangtbird:
sigh, was hoping it would bolt under, so is the new mustang the only bolt on irs?
Wow I had no idea you had IRS in yours...
