Default 5-lug conversion

what cars and years can I get axles and front hubs off of to fit a 79 fox to convert it to 5-lug, would crown victoria parts fit? would say like spidle hub and disc brakes off the crown vic. fit on the fox, also the crown vic has a really narrow 8.8 rear in it would it be possible to just swap that out the suspension is setup identicle between the two the only thing I think would be different is width but like I said it is really narrow to be begin with.

You can use '84-86 Front SVO Or '87 Lincoln Mark 7 rotors with '87-93 front Mustang spindles for sure up front / or, convert to 94/95 splindles as well...

I would look for a '87-93 Mustang 8.8" rear and convert to 5 lug with Ranger axle (lefts only) or go with a Moser type axle...

I have a question about this as well.
I was told that Ranger rotors or LTD rotors will work on the early Fox bodies.
But should I re-use the Mustang wheel bearings?

Will the Ranger or LTD rotors work?
Thanks
