    depends on what wheel you wanna run... you can get licoln rotors which bolt up using your factory bolts/nutz. or you can go sn95 front spindles,calipers,rotors. licoln rotors are cheaper way though. for the back find two drivers side ranger axles

    with the sn95 front conversion you need spacers/washers between spindle and ball joint nut.

    licoln rotors - napa round 35bux
    sn95 - used, junkyard,ebay etc.... varies 50-250
    ranger axles, junkyard.. bout 15bux each (if you can find them,lol)

    depends on wheel size too. You need to know what wheel you want to use 8" or 9". Wick hooked me up to a site that gives all the info you need.

    You can also use 85 or 86 SVO front rotors. Latemodel Restoration Supply has a kit for $399 that give you everthing. Even the gaskets/bearings and a trac-lok re-build kit.

    You need:

    V8 Mustang Spindles L&R (if your car was originally a four cylinder car, if it is an original V8 you are fine)

    2 driver side axles from a Ranger or 2 passenger side axles from an
    Aerostar van

    2 rotors from a Lincoln Mark VII

    2 V* Mustang Calipers

    otherthan that everything else should be fine. I have done a few of these and have never heard of anything else needing changed. You should be able to find everything in a junk yard for cheap. I have done swaps for under $200. You just need to look. Good Luck

    It depends on what wheels you want to run.The cheap way is the Lincoln rotors, BUT you cannot use most of the good wheels like the Cobra's or any SN-95 and up wheel. The ranger axles is the best for the rear. So, think about what wheels you want to run then make your choice. I would most likely go with the sn-95 set-up for the front for the fact of options that are available with wheels and brakes. Generally, the rear can be done for about 100 or less. Late model resto charges about 400 for the rear because they think its something special. HAHAHAHHAHA
