Ok, Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords lies then..." I suggest going with the five-lug conversion. Advantages are, of course, the wheel options, but most importantly it adds strength and better brake options" pg. 40 - Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords, Volume 19, Issue 6
MM&FF is wrong about 25% of the time, in this case, they were correct
This is true if they're compair 28 spline 4 lugs and 31 spline 5 lugs. Has anyone here ever actually broken a lug before snapping the axle itself?
