fox body parts interchange
i have bean told about interchanging parts on fox body mustangs. like if you want 31 spline axles, pull the carrier and two right side axles out of a 4.0 explorer. and numerous other things like that. i am wondering if this is true and what else might work for supper low budget junk yard finds.

No disrespect but you might want to try the search feature on this forum, going over interchangeable parts would make a very long thread, especially when its all been asked before. Google will also be very helpful.
Unless you have a specific part in mind?

While many of these meters will work, some will need you to run your own electronics (so you're only using the tube), and MOST will requrie some sort of aftermarket tune to work correctly. From what I've read the only one that is a direct bolt in replacement is the 94/95 5.0 or 3.8 that works with 19lb injectors (part# F2VF-12B579-A1A or A2A)., although I've read yes and no for the 4.6 Thunderbird's 70mm unit when you remove it's electronics and re-use your own
4.6 mass air meters (2v=70mm 4v=80mm)
Lincoln Mark 8, 80mm for 24lb
90mm Lightning MAF for 42# injectors
92-95 SuperCoupe, 70mm for 36's
Ford Mustang 1994-1995 V6 or 5.0L 70mm
Ford Crown Victoria 1992-1994 4.6L 70mm
Lincoln Towncar 1992-1994 4.6L 70mm
Mercury Grand Marquis 1992-1994 4.6L 70mm
94-97 Thunderbird 4.6 70mm housing is a direct bolt on to stock fox maf bracket. (I suspect same housing as 93 cobra.) This appears to be part # F4SF.

Ford 36lb injectors: 94-95 SuperCoupe
Ford 39lb 03-04 Cobra
Ford 42lb 99+ Lightning
Taurus SVO some years had 24s some had 30s
I've noticed that several of the newer 4.6L cars have a newer design thinner injector that appears squared off instead of the round bodies we're all used to*. I pulled a set of 19s in this design and found that 1 of the injectors (cylinder #4 I think) that about a 30* bend on the head of the injector. Don't know if that will cause problems with our cars by spraying the fuel at an intake wall instead of down at the piston.
Much of this info taken from the most complete injector list I've seen yet here.
Be careful if you see injectors that you think may work. If they are "Low Impedance" you can cook your computer.
Please read the Alternative Auto "Every Nut and Bolt" waterbox archive on doing a 351 conversion.
351 Shortblocks
93 to 95 Ford Vans and possible F-150s in these years. Look for part #F4TE
All 351's cast after 1993 should have the risers and bosses to accept a factory roller setup even though many were built as flat hydraulic.
Oil Pan
Oil pan from late 90s crown vic's with 351 is a double hump design and can be used if you plan on doing a 351 conversion in your fox.
Drivetrain
Aluminum Driveshaft
92-95 AWD Aerostar, swap yoke(s), 353 (napa) conversion ujoints, 3" dia
96-97 AWD Aerostar, direct bolt on, 3" dia
Crown vic p-71, taxi (crown vics), and 93 mark 8's can be shortened to fit a Mustang, 3.5" dia
There's much discussion about this, most people seem to think that any driveshaft you get from a junkyard will likely need reparied since common practice is to use a forklift to pick the cars up and move them around, thus destroying the driveshaft. If you have personally pulled one, please post your experience (if it needed work, if it was the right length, etc) and if you don't mind sharing the info, what JY you pulled it from. Aerostar shaft is 3" diameter where FMS one is 3.5". This does not seem to be an issue as no one has reported busting an aerostar one yet.

Transmissions
**********Auto**********
98+ vehicles came with the most updated factory 4R70W.
-5.0/5.8 has the same bell housing as 3.8/4.2/3.9(04 V6 Mustang)
- The aforementioned means you can get a mini starter from V6 mustangs and F-150s.
-Upgrade overdrive band in your AOD to a 2 inch wide from a 4R70W, you will need to find an AODE, and get the reverse sun shell, and get the reverse drum from a 98+ 4R70W with the mechanical intermediate diode.
-93 Mark VIII (ALL were 4R70W equipped) "supposedly" is the best output shaft for your AOD.
-Driveshaft yoke upgrade consists of 4R70W extension housing, and the driveshaft flange that will accompany it.
-Best Overdrive servo for AODs came in Thunder bird Super coupes and 93 model AOD transmissions.
-AOD is identified by Automatic Overdrive written on the pan. If not then there is only one plug with 3 pins on the left side of the case about in the middle right above the pan level.
-4R70W identified by a fluid sump in the middle of the pan and it will read METRIC on it and the output shaft seal will likely be yellow in color.
-AODE is identified by a white plug located on the right rear of the transmission case before the extension housing.
-If in doubt, 1995 was the last year all three transmissions were in production. After that, its all 4R70W (updated from 1993)
-4R70W gears are lower in first and second and will go into an AOD case with no problems. (like putting lower gears in the differential for 1st and 2nd gears!)
**********Manual**********
T-5 transmissions out of 4cyl mustangs can be used in a 5.0 if you replace your pilot bearing with one of these:
Pilot bushing for a 4cyl. T5 to a 302/351
pilot bushing out of an '84 ranger

Brakes
4 lug Drum to Disc conversion parts.
This is for people that want to stick with a 4 lug setup and still convert the rear to disc brakes while keeping their stock axles.
Rear Left & Right Calipers p/n 4508 & 4509 can be found on the following cars:
1993-1993 Ford Mustang
1989-1992 Ford Taurus
1987-1988 Ford Thunderbird
1988-1992 Lincoln Continental
1991-1992 Lincoln Mark VII
1987-1988 Mercury Cougar
1990-1992 Mercury Sable
Grab the rear brake soft lines P/N 380371 & 380372 from:
1994-1998 Ford Mustang
Grab some 4 Lug Rotors p/n 5455 from:
1993-1993 Ford Mustang
1987-1988 Ford Thunderbird
Master Cylinder with the 1 1/8" bore from
1984-1986 Ford Mustang
1974-1989 Lincoln Continental
1984-1989 Lincoln Mark VII
E-Brake cables from:
Ford Racing p/n: M2809A (I'm working on finding junkyard equivalents.)
The other Misc. parts you need are listed at northracecars dot com in their 4-lug disc brake section and other various tutorials regarding disc conversion . The caliper bracket they sell is not something you can pick up in the Junkyard. You could probably find the E-Brake cables in the Junkyard. I'll look into that more and will update my post here after I track down the part.
5 lug swap and other Brakes
**********Drums**********
-'83-'92 Ranger/Bronco II Left (driver) side axle (29-5/32") from a 4cyl or 3.0L V-6 with the 7.5" rear end,
-'86-'97 Aerostar RIGHT side (passenger) axles (29-5/32")
-9" Ranger/Bronco II Drums
**********Disks*********
You can use Ranger axles with all brake stuff off an SN95 simply by notching the brackets and flipping the right to left and left to right. I have not confirmed this myself. The 2nd one has better pictures. Due to changing the brackets from outside to inside the mount, the inside of the bracket should be either rounded (grinded down) or use spacers to keep the bracket from chewing into the welds on the back of the mount.
If you like the idea, but you don't want to cut brackets yourself check out the North Racecars brackets here
-95 to 91 Lincoln Mark VII or 84 to 86 SVO front rotors can be used for a 5 lug swap, but will not work with OE wheels past 98 (UNLESS you use freeze plug instead of dust cap)
73mm Front Calipers (Both Steel and Phenolic pistons):
-86-91 Lincoln Mark VII
-86-91 Crown Vic
-SVO Mustang 84-86
Master Cylinder:
-93 Cobra
-94-98 V6 (GT/Cobra = soft pedal?)
-87-89 Turbo Coupe Rear ends w/Gears & 4 lug Disc Brakes
94-95 V6 Mustang complete disc brake 5 lug swap setup (axles are the correct length for foxes and bolt into a fox 8.8). This V6 5 lug info may not be 100% accurate. From everything I've seen all SN95 axles are 3/4" longer than fox axles so you will need more backspacing on the rear wheels.
94-95 V6 & V8 Mustang front spindles for 5 lug (96-98 have different spindles)
99+ Mustangs - aluminum PBR dual piston calipers bolt up to the 94-95 spindles that can be used on foxes. Keep the banjo bolts that come with the newer calipers!
Some info stolen from here. If you're going to do a 5 lug conversion click that link and READ THE WHOLE THING!. There's also several other links in the sticky at the top of the "General Mustang Tech" forum here that has other 5 lug conversion info linked.

Electrical and other
Alternator
Good write up with pics on the swap here
These cars have 3G 130A clocked at 12:00 and will require fox bracket notched:
94-95 GT Mustang
94-06 V6 Mustang
94-97 3.8L Thunderbird **NON-S/C**
94-97 V6 t-bird
These cars have 3G 130A or 110A in a larger case clocked where connector will be jammed under the bracket. You can make these work, but they're not the ideal 3G for fox app upgrades:
93/94-99 3.0L Taurus (not 3.8L, check the 93, this may or may not have 3G)
95-98 3.0L Windstar
Small case 3G 95A with correct clocking and correct regulator. Some have incorrect 2 groove pulley, some have correct 6 groove:
92-94 3.0L Aerostar (early 92s were 2G not 3G, so check before you buy)
96-97 F series pickup with a 7.5L
Some of these use larger cased alternator, but can work, not all 3G's were 130a, see info here
Other, not sure of their clocking or output:
94-04 3.8 (-98? small case, 95a?)
3.8L 94-97 T-bird/cougar
94-96 F-150 5.0L and 5.8L came with both 130A and 95A
3G's with WRONG casing:
3.8L Windstar does not seem to have the correct housing.
3.8L Taurus
Other Electrical
The bracket and megafuse holder off of a 97 Expedition can be used in conjunction with the 3G upgrade. The bracket houses 2 175amp megafuse in separate carriers with individual covers. Also found them on a 97 F250. Cut down, drill two 1/4" holes and they'll mount to the coil bracket.
Don't forget to pick up some extra relays. These cost over $10 at most auto parts stores and are pocket items at the JY. I always keep a spare in my car incase my fuel pump relay goes.
High Torque Mini Starters
*check B4 u buy, some years may be standard "big" starters, since these came standard on the 92/93 5.0L I'd guess they were harder to find on other cars b4 those years and easier to find after*

Link to good write-up on changing to Mark 8 Fan
http://www.dfwstangs.net/tech/markvi.../markviii.html
Radiator
Late 5.0 Cougars have nice alum. radiators (these fit the Mark 8 electric fans really good)
Suspension
4 Cylinder front springs
SVO Front end - (better k member, control arms, 73mm calipers)
T-bird front control arms (longer than mustang) wide track (same as SN-95?)
94-04 A-arms can replace your existing Fox A-Arms. This is probably only done by those with a 79 to 86 chassis, upgrading their brakes, since the K-Member is narrower. The longer A-Arms put your tires out where they should be. Maximum Motorsports talks about the advantages on a Fox here.

This is a list of turbos from a junkyard that you might find for a twin setup. Most people go with turbo coupe to Merkur turbos. Turbostangman uses Gn turbos and used Eclipse turbos. For single turbo setups, check out any diesel truck that you might run into.
GM uses a turbo on their 6.5 L diesel that some guys run
and some guys are getting into Holset turbos from Cummins Diesel. There is also Ford turbo diesel, and anything you could get off a big rig, but that would be getting too big for most people. A turbo JY upgrade is not for the noob, so be sure you've got lots of time, hopefully a couple friends to help and some cash for the stuff you just can't get at the JY.
Interior
1998 GT seats drop right into a 1986 LX. Manual seats work, power seats = unknown. U can use the 1998 seat rails or the stock 1986 seat rails. The 1998 seat rails are a tad lower than the 1986 seat rails. These seats are a massive improvement from the buckets that came in my LX. And only cost $40 total (from the Pick-A-Part) for both seats + rail/brackets.
-Lowers driver seating position by .5-.75 inches
-Has hip & side bolsters.
-Firmer seat and back cushion/foam for less "bouncy" feel.
-5 Lbs lighter per seat
-Seat back actually locks in place so that when you stomp on the brakes the seat back doesn't try to push you forward.

While many of these meters will work, some will need you to run your own electronics (so you're only using the tube), and MOST will requrie some sort of aftermarket tune to work correctly. From what I've read the only one that is a direct bolt in replacement is the 94/95 5.0 or 3.8 that works with 19lb injectors (part# F2VF-12B579-A1A or A2A)., although I've read yes and no for the 4.6 Thunderbird's 70mm unit when you remove it's electronics and re-use your own

Mercury Grand Marquis 1992-1994 4.6L 70mm
94-97 Thunderbird 4.6 70mm housing is a direct bolt on to stock fox maf bracket. (I suspect same housing as 93 cobra.) This appears to be part # F4SF.

Taurus SVO some years had 24s some had 30s
I've noticed that several of the newer 4.6L cars have a newer design thinner injector that appears squared off instead of the round bodies we're all used to*. I pulled a set of 19s in this design and found that 1 of the injectors (cylinder #4 I think) that about a 30* bend on the head of the injector. Don't know if that will cause problems with our cars by spraying the fuel at an intake wall instead of down at the piston.
Much of this info taken from the most complete injector list I've seen yet here.
Be careful if you see injectors that you think may work. If they are "Low Impedance" you can cook your computer.
Please read the Alternative Auto "Every Nut and Bolt" waterbox archive on doing a 351 conversion.
351 Shortblocks
93 to 95 Ford Vans and possible F-150s in these years. Look for part #F4TE
All 351's cast after 1993 should have the risers and bosses to accept a factory roller setup even though many were built as flat hydraulic.

There's much discussion about this, most people seem to think that any driveshaft you get from a junkyard will likely need reparied since common practice is to use a forklift to pick the cars up and move them around, thus destroying the driveshaft. If you have personally pulled one, please post your experience (if it needed work, if it was the right length, etc) and if you don't mind sharing the info, what JY you pulled it from. Aerostar shaft is 3" diameter where FMS one is 3.5". This does not seem to be an issue as no one has reported busting an aerostar one yet.

Transmissions
**********Auto**********
98+ vehicles came with the most updated factory 4R70W.
-5.0/5.8 has the same bell housing as 3.8/4.2/3.9(04 V6 Mustang)
- The aforementioned means you can get a mini starter from V6 mustangs and F-150s.
-Upgrade overdrive band in your AOD to a 2 inch wide from a 4R70W, you will need to find an AODE, and get the reverse sun shell, and get the reverse drum from a 98+ 4R70W with the mechanical intermediate diode.
-93 Mark VIII (ALL were 4R70W equipped) "supposedly" is the best output shaft for your AOD.
-Driveshaft yoke upgrade consists of 4R70W extension housing, and the driveshaft flange that will accompany it.
-Best Overdrive servo for AODs came in Thunder bird Super coupes and 93 model AOD transmissions.
-AOD is identified by Automatic Overdrive written on the pan. If not then there is only one plug with 3 pins on the left side of the case about in the middle right above the pan level.
-4R70W identified by a fluid sump in the middle of the pan and it will read METRIC on it and the output shaft seal will likely be yellow in color.
-AODE is identified by a white plug located on the right rear of the transmission case before the extension housing.
-If in doubt, 1995 was the last year all three transmissions were in production. After that, its all 4R70W (updated from 1993)
-4R70W gears are lower in first and second and will go into an AOD case with no problems. (like putting lower gears in the differential for 1st and 2nd gears!)
**********Manual**********
T-5 transmissions out of 4cyl mustangs can be used in a 5.0 if you replace your pilot bearing with one of these:

E-Brake cables from:
Ford Racing p/n: M2809A (I'm working on finding junkyard equivalents.)
The other Misc. parts you need are listed at northracecars dot com in their 4-lug disc brake section and other various tutorials regarding disc conversion . The caliper bracket they sell is not something you can pick up in the Junkyard. You could probably find the E-Brake cables in the Junkyard. I'll look into that more and will update my post here after I track down the part.
5 lug swap and other Brakes
**********Drums**********
-'83-'92 Ranger/Bronco II Left (driver) side axle (29-5/32") from a 4cyl or 3.0L V-6 with the 7.5" rear end,
-'86-'97 Aerostar RIGHT side (passenger) axles (29-5/32")
-9" Ranger/Bronco II Drums
**********Disks*********
You can use Ranger axles with all brake stuff off an SN95 simply by notching the brackets and flipping the right to left and left to right. I have not confirmed this myself. The 2nd one has better pictures. Due to changing the brackets from outside to inside the mount, the inside of the bracket should be either rounded (grinded down) or use spacers to keep the bracket from chewing into the welds on the back of the mount.
If you like the idea, but you don't want to cut brackets yourself check out the North Racecars brackets here
-95 to 91 Lincoln Mark VII or 84 to 86 SVO front rotors can be used for a 5 lug swap, but will not work with OE wheels past 98 (UNLESS you use freeze plug instead of dust cap)
73mm Front Calipers (Both Steel and Phenolic pistons):
-86-91 Lincoln Mark VII
-86-91 Crown Vic
-SVO Mustang 84-86
Master Cylinder:
-93 Cobra
-94-98 V6 (GT/Cobra = soft pedal?)
-87-89 Turbo Coupe Rear ends w/Gears & 4 lug Disc Brakes
94-95 V6 Mustang complete disc brake 5 lug swap setup (axles are the correct length for foxes and bolt into a fox 8.8). This V6 5 lug info may not be 100% accurate. From everything I've seen all SN95 axles are 3/4" longer than fox axles so you will need more backspacing on the rear wheels.
94-95 V6 & V8 Mustang front spindles for 5 lug (96-98 have different spindles)
99+ Mustangs - aluminum PBR dual piston calipers bolt up to the 94-95 spindles that can be used on foxes. Keep the banjo bolts that come with the newer calipers!
Some info stolen from here. If you're going to do a 5 lug conversion click that link and READ THE WHOLE THING!. There's also several other links in the sticky at the top of the "General Mustang Tech" forum here that has other 5 lug conversion info linked.

Alternator
Good write up with pics on the swap here
These cars have 3G 130A clocked at 12:00 and will require fox bracket notched:
94-95 GT Mustang
94-06 V6 Mustang
94-97 3.8L Thunderbird **NON-S/C**
94-97 V6 t-bird
These cars have 3G 130A or 110A in a larger case clocked where connector will be jammed under the bracket. You can make these work, but they're not the ideal 3G for fox app upgrades:
93/94-99 3.0L Taurus (not 3.8L, check the 93, this may or may not have 3G)
95-98 3.0L Windstar
Small case 3G 95A with correct clocking and correct regulator. Some have incorrect 2 groove pulley, some have correct 6 groove:
92-94 3.0L Aerostar (early 92s were 2G not 3G, so check before you buy)
96-97 F series pickup with a 7.5L
Some of these use larger cased alternator, but can work, not all 3G's were 130a, see info here
Other, not sure of their clocking or output:
94-04 3.8 (-98? small case, 95a?)
3.8L 94-97 T-bird/cougar
94-96 F-150 5.0L and 5.8L came with both 130A and 95A
3G's with WRONG casing:
3.8L Windstar does not seem to have the correct housing.
3.8L Taurus
Other Electrical
The bracket and megafuse holder off of a 97 Expedition can be used in conjunction with the 3G upgrade. The bracket houses 2 175amp megafuse in separate carriers with individual covers. Also found them on a 97 F250. Cut down, drill two 1/4" holes and they'll mount to the coil bracket.
Don't forget to pick up some extra relays. These cost over $10 at most auto parts stores and are pocket items at the JY. I always keep a spare in my car incase my fuel pump relay goes.
High Torque Mini Starters
*check B4 u buy, some years may be standard "big" starters, since these came standard on the 92/93 5.0L I'd guess they were harder to find on other cars b4 those years and easier to find after*

94-04 A-arms can replace your existing Fox A-Arms. This is probably only done by those with a 79 to 86 chassis, upgrading their brakes, since the K-Member is narrower. The longer A-Arms put your tires out where they should be. Maximum Motorsports talks about the advantages on a Fox here.

This is a list of turbos from a junkyard that you might find for a twin setup. Most people go with turbo coupe to Merkur turbos. Turbostangman uses Gn turbos and used Eclipse turbos. For single turbo setups, check out any diesel truck that you might run into.
GM uses a turbo on their 6.5 L diesel that some guys run
and some guys are getting into Holset turbos from Cummins Diesel. There is also Ford turbo diesel, and anything you could get off a big rig, but that would be getting too big for most people. A turbo JY upgrade is not for the noob, so be sure you've got lots of time, hopefully a couple friends to help and some cash for the stuff you just can't get at the JY.

1998 GT seats drop right into a 1986 LX. Manual seats work, power seats = unknown. U can use the 1998 seat rails or the stock 1986 seat rails. The 1998 seat rails are a tad lower than the 1986 seat rails. These seats are a massive improvement from the buckets that came in my LX. And only cost $40 total (from the Pick-A-Part) for both seats + rail/brackets.
-Lowers driver seating position by .5-.75 inches
-Has hip & side bolsters.
-Firmer seat and back cushion/foam for less "bouncy" feel.
-5 Lbs lighter per seat
-Seat back actually locks in place so that when you stomp on the brakes the seat back doesn't try to push you forward.

Hi!
I have a 93 GT that has an overdrive issue.
I bought a 94 Cougar as a donor and will soon swap the tranny.
What I just figured out today: This Cougar has a 5 lug setup.
Is it possible to use the rear axle, brake calipers, etc. on my stang?
Thanks in advance!
