Hey umm new idea came into mind. Would i be able to take the front disc brakes and the rear axle w/ disc brakes from the 1998 mustang and put them on my 68. I assume the braking system is alot better on those mustangs than that of my old 68 all the way around drum. also i wondered if the rack and pinion would be a direct bolt in on my mustang. does anyone know or tried this. i mean i'd like to have a cheap way of getting all around disc brakes and possibly some extra parts like the rims and such. currently my car is a original 4 lug drum. and also i have heard this everywhere but what do people mean by 31 spline ...?

Basic answer no nothing from anything newer then a 73 will bolt on.Cheapest way is get v8 hubs and disc for the front the rear end has to be changed to a 8 inch at least.31 spline is the teeth on the axles that go in the diff its self.Cheapest place for a rear end is Rears Axles and Housings

It can, but it needs a little help. It's not a direct bolt on, because the two suspension are so differant.

In the front, Fat Man Fabrications makes a kit to convert an old Mustang to a strut suspension using new Mustang parts. It's a pretty slick deal. Completly bolt in, no welding or fabrications.

The rear is another story. The 8.8 doesn't bolt in directly. The width isn't right, and neither is the offset. You would need a custom built housing. It can be done, but it's pretty expensive.

I remember another company was working on an bolt in 8.8 IRS set up. Seemed pretty expensive, though.

Once you change everything over to the v8 parts you can get the 98 up cobra brakes for it cobrabrakes get the brackets from him calipers rotors rubber brake lines master cylinder and booster if you want power all can be bough from any big auto parts store.Control freak suspension is the one with the bolt in irs 8.8 and its really high
