I was helping a friend look for a good cheap muscle car to buy and came across this beauty. This is how I want to paint my bird when I get the funds. I won't be doing any tubbing though.

Which brings up a question. I'd like to switch to 5 lug some day. I know I could probably put Lincoln Mark VII rotors and axles(5x108mm), but what if I wanted a different size like 5x112mm Lug Pattern. What site do you go to to figure out how to do that or who do you call. I know Strange Engineering or Moser could help with the back, but how do you do the front.
I was in charge of converting a 88 t-bird 4 lug from street to drag only , we used mustang rotor kit from the Ford motorsports catalog, 5 lug disc kit .I was the wrench guy so I don't recall if it came with differant brake calipers too [email protected]

Three 1988 Turbo Coupes .....

Nice cars. Yeah, you can do just about anything with a 70-72 351c and a good C4. My combo of choice for the street.
You can use the Lincoln front rotors but I think the rear Lincoln axles are to wide. You can use axles from a SN95 Mustang they should be the same width as T-Bird. Why would you wanna change bolt pattern? Ford 4 1/2 inch pattern is the most common and have the biggest selection in wheels.
