5 Lug Conversion

[Madlx5.0]

I have a 1989 Mustang 5.0 with Thunderbird Coupe 8.8 Rearend. I am interested in doing 5 lug conversion, and wondering if I can use driver side 83-92 ford ranger axle with the Thunderbird Coupe rearend.

Yes you can however the axles are not as long as the T-birds. This will pull the rotor hats towards the housing. You would need to get the North Racecars brackets which bring the calipers in 3/4". This was I will be doing myself. As for a 5 lug rotor hat i have seen online 5 lug t-bird hats but Jrichker's has some data on using a Masda MVP front rotor with a 1/4" spacer under to get you a cheap 5 lug alternative to redrilling or buying a custom set.

Or just sell off the turbo coupe stuff and buy Sn95 parts.

Then nothing is modified and if you ever need parts in the future you can find them everywhere
