Rear axle swap

April 18, 2005, 08:43:58 AM

I know about a the Turbo Coupe axle swap, but can that apply to a SN-95 Mustang. I am looking at maybe converting my '86 TB to 4-wheel SN-95 cobra disc brakes and think I would need to swap the rear end to get the rear discs.

if its the whole rear diff it should work fine...the disk brakes should work also on a tc rear just like any of the other sn95 disk brakes. i pretty sure the brackets bolt right on the the housing.

The axles from a 94-98 Mustang are the same length as the Tbirds. You can just swap in axles/brakes and leave the existing housing. If you have an 8.8 already (or have a 7.5 and don't "plan" on swapping) you don't need the whole rear end (housing and all)
