1990 lx 2.3l conversion
hello, I have a few questions about a V8 swap into a 2.3L 1990 LX mustang. I have already replaced the rearend with a 8.8" with Moser 5 lug axles, I am having a hard time finding a bolt on 5 lug rotor for this car. Summit racing offers this part number (Ford Racing M-1102-C) but my worry is it will only fit a spindle that came with 5.0L engines, not the 2.3L. I dont know if they are the same and this rotor will be the solution to my problem. Next question, I am switching over to a C-4 Transmission, will the origional driveline work with a yoke swap to the rearend or will that need to get fabricated as well? Lastly, someone told me that the bodykits that came on the GT Mustangs in these years will not work on Mustangs that are NOT GT's. So the ground effects, front/rear bumpers will not bolt on correctly to the LX's or just the plain model cars. I had the body work done and seen it today painted, and it pains me to not have that body kit installed on this car. I would greatly appreciate any advice and support and making this transition go smoothlyand hopefully return the knowledge onto other people who dont know much like me
in regaurds to the c4 Q... the c4 is shorter so youll have to get a driveshaft made or usea 99-04 manual shaft and swap yokes. the 2.3 shaft is about a foot too short. don't forget about the double hump crossmember that youll also need.
