Ok newb here, haven't got Pics of the 'Stang yet but she's coming along nice. One problem though she used to be a 6 banger...*gasp*. No problem because she got a new set of innards and rumbles and rolls nicely now. Heres the thing though, she still has the old legs...yup thats right the 4 lug. I aquired a set of original Ansen Auto Sprints, but being 13" they don't really look right with the tires I was forced to get, 185/80 13.

Now I can get a set of 15" Ansens, or I can go the REALLY expensive route and switch over to 5 lug. I need some advise from you more experenced guys out there, but really not sure what I need to do to get the 5 lug conversion done if that would be best. I've tried to read articles on it, but really look like a monkey doing a math problem, so please try to make it simple. Also I'm on a fixed budget here, being a cop and all so the $5000 upgrade kit is out.

Questions, Commints, Concerns, and Heckling are all welcome, but please phrase your Heckles in the form of a question.

Thanks,

At the min you need to aquire:

8 inch rear end (this will cover the 5 lug for the rear)
Front Spindels (this will cover the 5 lug for the front)
New springs
New Shocks
New steering peices (beefier center link for the added weight, inner/outer tie rods)

You should prob:
rebuild the upper arms at the min
replace the lower arms at the min
upgrade the sway bays

 

Cool, any takers on aquisition of the parts, other then NPD (my new favorite catalog) or Mustangs Plue (Not too happy with the prices)? I heard mension of the rear end off a Lincon ?Versallies? and the front end off a Mustang II, but there has to be some swap issues I would imagine...

The floor is yours gentelmen.
