Very good job on the SC. Ford did make Cobra R's that fit the Thunderbird and Taurus.They are hard to find though.

You'd be better off just swapping over to Mustang spindles.

I had a set of those on the SC I had. Bought them from J ( biminilx ). I sold the car a few years ago and still see it around locally once in a while. Those R-rims look SO nice on an SC - definitely my favorite choice!!

Real nice ride you have there. I had a lot of problems with mine, but it did ride nice, and if you don't have to drive it in the snow like I did, it would be a car I could live with ( but I really did hate those dang automatic seatbelts, and let's not talk about that awful mechanical ABS system... )

Here is a photo of mine with the R-rims...

I always wanted to put 2000 Cobra R 18's on mine when I had it.

Those would look cool - but aren't they a 4.5 inch bolt pattern? The SC and the SHOs had that stupid 4.25 inch pattern.

to me? not really.. to my dad? mostlikely.. i cant lie about that one.. the worse part was building the trannie.. putting it in was a job. its a direct bolt up.. the rear main is a windsor rear pattern so..

Oh ok cool...i know guys were having trouble with t5 swaps because the shifter is so close to the dash...didnt know if you would have that problem with the automatic swap. Look forward to seeing some times one its done.
