There is a 1977 Lincoln versaille for sale not far from me.It has a 9
"rear with disk brakes ,351 windsor and c4 auto. I know the rear will bolt up to my 1970 fastback but what about the tranny, engine, front brakes,master cylinder and so on. Im not going to pick this up just for a rear. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Any tech guys in here? I really need to know if a lot of parts will work on mine before this lincoln sells ,its the first one ive ever seen for sale in my area.Google and search on this forum shows me nothing.I dont want to let this car go,so your info is invaluable. Help

 

Engine and trans should be no problem. The front brakes should be just like a granada swap. I could not tell you about the master.

 

thanks for the input and clues.Ill try to read up on granada swaps. But I still need more input

 

versaille spindles have a larger lower ball joint hole then granada so they will not fit the mustang lower ball joint without a tapered shim. I would prefer the granada spindle and no shim.

The versaille spindle is still worth something to someone converting 55 to 6o's full size cars as they use larger ball joints. Sell them and buy the granada parts

 

So the trany rear and engine will bolt to my 70,if so I will look into this car.

 

I believe that the Versailles rear end is correct for a 65-66 but is several inches narrower than a 70 Mustang rear end.

 

Not neccessarily a bad thing. Using this rearend, rolling the inside of the fender lip, and using wheels with the correct backspacing will allow you to run a 10" wide rear tire without having to modify the wheelhouse or chassis. This used to be a common practice for 67-70 Mustang drag racers back in the day.
