Here you go. Also could someone try to identify my rear end and those "traction?" bars.
I jacked up one rear tire and tried to spin it with no luck, does that mean locker?





Ans this is why I don't want to drive it yet!!






Who said you need spacers for 99-04 wheels!

The disc brakes pictured are either 68-69 or 70-73 type. The basic difference between the two types is that the stub axle has a larger diameter on the 70-73 type. The diameter of the threads under the spindle nut will indicate the type.

Your hit the Jack Pot, you have the Factory Mustang Disc Brakes with the Bigger Rotors, correct hub diameter, correct Geometry, Correct Tie Rods.

Much better than the Granada pieces with smaller rotors.

Can't tell on the PS, but will nearly verture to say correct PS for era???

So, update all components, Cruise, you have GOOD stuff here.

what transmission do you have? 4.10s are going to be a bitch without an OD gear.

with the stock 2.xx gears im at 3k rpm at 60-65ish it would be fun for strictly city with no prolonged highway speed driving but once you get on the highway, no bueno. for this reason im saving up for a t5 swap, only problem is that the t5 is rated to 300hp, so your pretty much limited to 250hp to stay safe, but 250 is plenty for me.

Oh wow! I didn't think it would be that bad! Guess I'll have to re gear it sometime!
