I used Mk VII axles and brakes in a TC rear on my Cougar, came out same width as the TC.

mk VII and lsc rears are the same? why not use the mark VII housing, too?

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Use the whole rear end, the whole wider track this isn't that much of a big deal as everyone makes it out to be.

The SVO/Lincoln stuff is 1/2" wider per side than the TBird/94-98 Mustang stuff, or 1" overall.

 Yeah I know, my 7.5 did, the Mark 8.8 didn't.  No biggie if you use good U/LCA.
