up front you need new 5 lug brake rotors which might run $80 or so a piece and out back you need some new axles or some from a Ranger truck, not sure which year.

the 5.0 resto kit is kinda the getto way of doing things, using this kit you wont be able to use 97+ mustang wheels, also it serves no braking upgrade, why get in to it if you arent going to improve beyond wheels? personally i will be starting my swap this week end. for my kit i bought 98 GT front spindles and brakes, 96 GT rear brakes and axle shafts, 95 GT master cylinder and booster, and all the misc parts. i bought almost all of it on ebay and i am doing it for cheap.
