Default 1997 Mustang disk brakes on a 1968 Coupe?

Hi Guys,
My friend just wrecked his 1997 Mustang GT convertible .
He said I could take anything I want from the wreck and was wondering if his front disc brakes would work on my 1968 Mustang Coupe?
I'll looked around but have not found any real info, any assistance would be aspirated.
Also, if you have any suggestions on any other parts I could possibly use please fell free to let me know.

Regards,

Rick

Its possible but probably not worth the trouble, you'd have to fabricate your own brackets ect. which would be a PITA. There is a kit that will allow you to adapt 99-04 cobra calipers I don't know if the 97 calipers would work with it. Here is the link Vintage Mustang "COBRA Brake & Wheel" — Vintage Venom - Vintage Mustang Disc Brake Kits
