So, I am at work, unencumbered by reality or common sense.
At home, I have a 1999 Mustang parts car. The rear axle and brakes are not needed for my Fox project, as that has Cobra parts on it.
The Box Panthers had an 8.8 with drums.
The Fox Mustangs had an 8.8 with drums (or a 7.5 but please hear my bad ideas before you object to my reasoning).
The SN95 uses the same width housing, and axles which are about 3/4" longer than the Fox to make room for the disc setup.
The 92+ Panthers used (I think) the same width housing, and axles which are about 3/4" longer than the Box to make room for the disc setup.
I can score cheap axle shafts, and I'm already planning to rebuild my rear axle/swap to 3.55s.
I have the parts to adapt the SN95 brakes to a Fox 8.8 housing.
Has anyone tried this? In conjunction with a big brake swap up front, of course. But I'm doing that the Panther way, because my Cobra brakes have a Fox home.
I'm fairly sure it's mechanically possible, at least to a point. But how stupid is it, has anyone here tried it and what were the results?
If I had to buy the parts, I'd go Panther rear too. I'm crazy, not insane.
