So, my mustang has been off the road for a little over 3 months now. Honestly i miss her too much and need to get her back on the road, i was going to rebuild the motor and get a stroker in their but i have figured out what was causing some of the immediate problems. I'm gonna fix those to prepare the car for the stroker and when i have the money, i'll order my stroker.

Some questions first.
Has anyone tried this combo pack from summit

I need a new cooling system because my clutch fan flew off, and my radiator leaks.

And im looking at a disk rear, 3.73's out of a 96 cobra. The guy wants 600 for it...sounds a little absurd to me, but when i figure into doing the gear swap any way it seems almost worth it.

Thoughts?

I would never pay $600 for a used axle, ebay would be your best friend in that area. you can rebuild the axle you have with new gears and bearings for less than that and then hit a boneyard for the brakes

96 is gonna be a wider rear than a fox rear

$600 a lttle $$$, but when you consider cost of gears & install, + being a Cobra, it's ok! As far a being a little wider, you can make up the difference with different wheels backspacing! ...FFRP sells a '95 Cobra R wheel with a just for the Fox (5 lug)

i have a 96 axle shafts and disk brakes on my fox its a lil wider but will work

that's what I've heard. Just wondering, by the time i ship an axle from ebay to my parts thats 400, plus 500 to rebuild it and get the gears in it.

Look around and find you a running 90 model Lincoln Mark VII. You can pick up a running version for 500-800. Has the rear disc rear you want and a spare engine and all kinds of other neat stuff you can use. You could sell the air bags and almost get your money back.

the pimps done brought up all the Lincolns in my parts.
