Solid axle swap.

[01TrueBlueCobra]

Found a friend with a 97 Cobra who wants to do a IRS and soild axle swap. I know that the 96-98 rear ends is slighty shorter. Is there any problems that might come in result of this. Has any 99-04 Cobras done a swap with a 96-98 rear end. Also how will it look with it on considering its shorter

Didnt know they were shorter. I didnt think the mustang platform changerd that much in those years. If you got a custom offset for your wheels would that help you get fatter slicks in rear?

You'll definately have to run a wider wheel or a different offset/backspace in the back to make it look right if you go with a 94-98 rearend since they are an 1" shorter on each side...

What about just using 1" wheels spacers? It seems to me that one on each side would do the trick.

That would probably work out...
