I'm in the process of swapping rear ends and I've run into an issue with the brake line. The original came from the top of the differential and was a "screw type" line (sorry, don't know the names of the parts). I unscrewed it from under the car.
The new differential has the line coming from the knobby think on the axle. It has a different kind of connecting end. The first two pictures attached are from the old rear end. The second two pictures are from the new rear end.
How can I resolve the issue?

you could unbolt the lines from the distribution block and swap it over.

its just bolted to a bracket on the rearend.

careful removing the hard lines.

you sure the rear end your swapping in is off a 5.0 mustang?? cause I just swapped in a 8.8 into my 92 4 cyl conversion to 5.0 and the brake line set up on the 7.5 rear is secured to the vent hole like the last two pics to posted are...with lines in that position it will interfere with right tail pipe..which is why I ask if that rear is out of a 4cyl possibly??? cause 4 bangers had no tail pipe on that side...anyway the first two pics is the 5.0 set up and what I had to do is cut the line at the point of entry on the right side ..add more tubbing and double flare it and purchase a fittinf that the banjo bolt on the 5.0 brake line screws into...I had to get a used fitting from cj pony parts as fitting is discontinued from ford......anyway that's what i DID when swapping out the 7.5 rear for an 8.8..I assume the crusty looking rear is the one you are removing and trying to swap in the cleaner one?? or is it the other way around??
