1983 GLX 5.0 Mustang
Ok so I got a 1983 GLX 5.0 Mustang that is completely stock. I need to know what is compatible with this year and type of Mustang. If anyone has a link to a website that sells these parts I would highly appreciate it.

No it will not. You need to convert your exhaust mounts. You can do it pretty easily. You'll need to switch to an x or h pipe as well. Your mounts are located under your tranny in between your tranny and the crossmember and also muffler hangers will need to be installed. I did the whole thing in about 3 hours, as well as headers.

Ok here is my next question, so the size of the tires are exactly this "220/55/390" I am pretty sure that the 390 is converted to "16" somehow but was just wondering if anyone had some insight on that.
*These tires are about 10 years old or even older*

Well I was looking at tirerack.com and found these wheels "American Racing Vintage Ansen Sprint" 17" with rec. tire size 235/45/17 for $162 each. I wanted to double check with ya all, this will fit, correct? I do not have a current budget, this has been a year long project, the thing finally is able to be driven but now just needs some more tune-ups. Doesn't mean I am spending a fortune, but I have the time to save money and put it into the project as necessary.
