The mark is a 5 bolt, so its front hubs would go on my fox? And the rear end swaped for rear discs and some sweet 5 bolt rims?

Man...i thought there would be a little more knowledge about Marks on here..

Anyways, the spindles, rotors, and brakes will fit, but you need a ball joint spacer, since the Mark uses a different balljoint than the rest of the fox's. Maximum Motorsports sells them. You can swap the entire rear if you want, but i wouldnt do it. They are 1.25" wider per side than your mustang, which would make the wheels hang out big time.

If you do the 5-lug swap, youre still limited to which wheels you run due to the hube and dust caps on the Mark rotors. I did the Mark swap in my TC, and am limited to mostly stock wheels.

The 95 3.8L made 140 horsepower.

1 1/4 wider doesnt sound too bad, no show car just want it to go ... faster and stop better. I would just stick with the mark rims they are 16 by 7. What is a ball joint spacer like?

I think due to the width difference in the rear end im going to stay with the 4 bolt wheels for now, and keep all the parts from the mark7 for another time maybe, but I just found out the 5.0 from the mark7 is going in my fox!

Watch out on those 5.0 mark. I told a friend of a lincoln found in a cheap junkyard. He was not interested because he said it was a low hp 5.0. He said one of best 5.0 is a 5.0 in explorer with gt40 head. Big intake and exhause ports. Do some research on hp on that year. Hate to see you regret it after all the hard work

Nope. The Marks are all HO. Even the 84-85, but those were CFI.
