Default SVO Brake question

Planning on putting on the 73mm SVO Brake calipers. Things that I have read say use a 86 mustang SVO or a 91 Lincoln Mark VII for a direct fit. Also, that the 86-91 Lincolns and 86-91 Crown Vics use a 73mm Piston. My question is will these be a direct fit also? As they will be easier to find. Thanks

That is where I saw the information. That is why I posted the question. Here is the quote that I am confused about from that page:

"Get the calipers for a '91 Lincoln Mark VII for a direct bolt in (other 86-91 Lincoln's should all have the 73 mm calipers, 86-91 Crown Victorias and 84-86 SVO 4cyl Turbo Mustangs). "

Now, will the latter calipers bolt right in also, or is it only the Mustang SVO and the Lincoln Mark VII??

Default RE: SVO Brake question

ok here is the information I have about this from "The Official Ford Mustang 5.0 Technical Reference & Performance Handbook 1979 through 1993" by Al Kirschenbaum

72.9mm front caliper pistons that where standard on the 1982 - 83 Lincoln Continental and 1987 - 88 Lincoln Mark VII LSC with 11.35" 5- lug rotors.
A number of production 1980 - 92 Lincoln Continental, Town Car, LSC, and Mark VII models and some 1979 - 82 Lincoln Versailles came with 11" front rotors (actually 11.08" same as SVO, raven), 72.9mm front caliper pistons.

Hope this is helpfull
