Hello, I was wondering if anyone could take the time to explain what we can interchange from a fox mustang of all years/styles or even any other models, considering parts for a mustang are a lot easier to comeby compared to fox thunderbird specific parts. Thank you and any advice or questions/comments are more than welcome because I am sure this subject is very good information for fox t-bird beginners which does include me.
what kind of parts are you looking for?
suspension and steering. radiators, fans,and headers pretty much anything like that.
springs from stangs are shorter, rear control arms are differant too. rad and cooling fans should swap, so should headers.
so any suspension component like control arms, sway bars/endlinks, shocks and struts, camber casters, and etc. are all different and cannot be used on a fox tbird? And i do know most exahaust will bolt on except for the most part axle-back. I do have mustang stock headers with h pipe and a modified mustang super forty catback(lengthened to fit) but the prebent tubing im not too thrilled about cause its not tucked up as much as i would like but o well good for now. I am mostly interested in EQUAL-length headers because i would like to put a set on my car as soon as i purchase my 331 crate motor =)
rear control arms are differant for sure. some stangs share the frt control arms varies by year of stang and bird, sway bars are differant dias and the turbo coupe bars are what you would want. springs are differant shocks are shorter, cambar plates are listed differant between the two.
So i guess the question of all questions is where do all of you guys/ and girls get your PERFORMANCE parts!!!!????
the rear control arms do work but bring your rear axle 3/4" towards the front of the car

which also changes pinion angle.
And puts them in an immediate bind on their mounting bolts.
