Default 5 Lug Conversion

As always sorry if this has been asked a hundred times, if so please point me to the right thread. anyways, can I obtain all the parts needed for a 5 lug conversion on my 93 lx from an SN95 or newer mustang from a salvage yard? Which parts would be a direct bolt on if possible?

Everything is a direct bolt in if you take the 5 lug axles as well.

You need a hardened steel spacer for the front lower ball joint. Or get sn95 ball joints.

You need to drill holes on the rear end housing for the brake caliper hose brackets.

I'm not 100% sure on if you can use the prop valve. I didn't use salvage parts so IDK.

You may need to put new fittings or adapters on some lines to make them mate.
