5 lug swap

Will the axles from a v6 mustang, sn95, work on a fox rear end. I am pretty sure the rear end is a 7.5, but not real sure about the axles since axles from an 8 will fit in a 9, i thought maybe these would work too...

They will fit in an fox or SN95 8.8 housing. It will make the rearend about 3/4" longer on each side than a 68 or Fox which are almost identical in length.

Thats good. I have spacers right now for the Mach I wheels anyway, so i can just do away with them...

That is what I did. 95 GT 8.8 and no spacers. I think they are a tad too far inside. A 1/4" spacer would help looks imo.

i am looking to do the t5 conversion soon, and I already have a fox rear end. I was planning on just buying a transmission, then later doing a conversion on my fox rear. I think that I may be able to buy a whole v6 sn95 mustang with t5 cheaper than just buying a trans considering i can use the axles, which would give me rear discs, the master cylinder too. i thought maybe even adapt the front discs...i have found a couple wrecked ones for around $500, but so far they were all autos...

The front calipers on the 95 I had used a smaller piston than the Granadas I had. I ended up using 99-04 PBR calipers with Granada spindles and rotors.

THanks, thats what I am shooting for, its a photoshopped pic, but i have added those wheels...

make sure it's not a 7.5" rear, those are pure garbage and would be a major downgrade over the 8" you have now

7.5 axles and brakes swap right in an 8.8 housing.
