V6 axles and spindles are the same as GT and Cobra axles but the rearend in a v6 is a 7.5 and the v8's use an 8.8.
The front wheels might stick out a little bit using '96+ spindles. Usually '94-'95 spindles are used for the conversion.

No more LX after 93 fool, if you mean its a v6 then you could but i think they have 7.5 rearends so i wouldn't want the axle, esspecially if it had drum brakes

Do it right or don't do it at all

SN95 V6 cars had disc rears. The only down side is the 7.5" diff is an open diff. You can get cheap Tlok units, though.
