yeah i'm gathering all the parts also for a swap,will be using baseline uppers and i made my own lowers,hope to have it in by the end of the month

oh yeah,you can use the sn-95 rear but it is a little wider than a fox,a new edge rear will also bolt in but it is longer than the sn-95 rear

Ok may sound a bit dumb but what does the abbreviation SN-95 mean :-k

sn-95 is the chassis designation for the 94-97(i think,maybe 98) mustang,then they started calling it new edge,until the current chassis

What are you doing for wheel backspacing? driveshaft? ..... i've been looking into 12 bolts and 9" swaps, but this sounds interesting

for the driveshaft,you get the 8.8 u joint yoke from moser,can order it from jegs or summit,the backspace on the wheels i believe for a 10 bolt in a 15x10 is 5.5,since the mustang rear is a little wider i'm hoping i can get by with the 15x10's with 6.5 i currently have on my fox mustang,i am mini tubbing and will cut what is required to make them fit :twisted:
