CrimsonGT · 02-04-2007, 04:06 PM

does anyone know if the 8.8 out of a 1988 lincoln mark VII would fit fine in my 88 mustang 4 banger.
will there be any width problems
I know I need to change out master cylinders and proportion valves to work with the disc brakes.

thanks joe

It will be around 1.5" wider from brake to brake over a drum setup. Only thing you may have to add are some 93 cobra e-brake cables and extend some brake lines
