i am thinking about buying an 88 turbo coupe tbird so i can swap rears with my 88 GT to get the disc rear.

how much work is involved with removing/installing the rears. will i need any other parts besides what the turbo coupe has to bolt everything up to my mustang?

do i need a new proportioning valve and brake lines or what? also im going to convert to 5 lug while i have the rear out.

also does anyone know if the turbocoupe rotors are the same size as a 5 lug sn95 rotor? im hoping i can just swap axles and rotors and be done

 

HUM I DO HAVE 1 5 lug axle out of ranger.the short one .you will need diff mas/cylinder turbo coupe one might work ..???

 

i would think you could just swap rearsends proportioning and mastercylinder and be done with it.

 

the rear end will fit right in there without any problems but it will be like 1" wider on both sides i believe, also you need to get a portpoting valve and the master cylinder from the turbo coupe, cobra, or some other vehicales i belive.

 

actualy it's .75" inch wider each side..this can be fixed with a more offset rim

 

oh well im will be using stock 98 GT wheels, 17x8 split 5 spokes with 245 45 17 tires..... hopefully theyl stay in there....


oh one more question, i have a 98 GT setup for the front... spindles calipers brake lines and rotors... will the turbo coupe proportioning valve work with that setup also?

cuz it will be a mixed up setup.. 98gt front conversion and turbocoupe rear disc

 

Killswitch

did you end up buying the turbo coupe? Is the engine/ turbo for sale?

thanks
