This is all I could find man

I do know a cheaper way though....

Pay $350 for the 5 lug conversion kit (you will also need to swap for a 8.8" rear end [direct swap, no modifications]) and there is lots of stuff for those, and you can get some better 5 lug wheels

(or you can just get some for the 8.8" rear end and stay 4 lug, that would be the cheapest way to go)

All that will cost you about $600-$900 depending on your choice of brakes, and maybe $600 more and you can get some new wheels.

$1,500 for that

the link that I posted is a little over $2,000 [

]

Im just leavin some options out there...

But that is all I can find right now....

I looked pretty hard and couldnt find any rear disk brakes for the 4lug 7.5 rear end. Only 8.8 rear ends [:@]

A rear end swap I hear isnt hard to do and is a direct bolt on... but I guess you have to run some different brake lines but thats about it. With a 8.8 rear end from a 86-93 5.0Mustang you have a bunch of different options out there for rear disc brakes.

Got any pics of the car? Sounds like a neat project.

i dont have any pics of the stang yet but i have some pics for the last car i raced wich is my pinto 1979

and did the turbo coupes come out with 4 lug disks? i dont care about rear end size just need the 4 lug disks and calipers then i can make some weld on mounts like we did for my dads montecarlo with a 9 inch ford reafend

o and the pics of the pinto

What a cool pinto lol. No the TC's didnt come with rear dick brakes... Like I said, they do have em for the 8.8 but you have to find a 8.8 rear end first

Yes 87 to 88 turbocoupe. Has 8.8 4 lug pattern. A 8.8 is a drop in for a 7.5 done it a few weeks ago. http://www.projecthp.ford23.com/rearswap.html

Yeah, the 87-88 TCs had 4-lug disks, but they were an 8.8. The SVOs came with rear disks in a 7.5 rear end, but they are a 5-lug. I believe both the TC and SVO had limited slip differentals in them.

what gear ratio did the tc with disks come with? i need to be in the 3.40 range

thanks
