Default Interchagable parts for 1986 mustang

Hey whats up people?
1.What other ford rear ends will fit under my 86?(w/rear disc brakes)

2.Will a 87-93 front bumper fit my 86? Don't realy like the 4 lights. If so what do I need to do?

1. People make kits to get a 9" under there.

2. Yes, but no. It will fit but to make it fit you will have to change the fenders as well for the wrap around headlights. Then the body molding won't match up. Its been said here before, if you don't like the 4 eyes, its much cheaper to sell and by a 87-93.

All though, I see very few nice 4-eyes out there maiing each one I do see all the more interesting.

Depends on what rear you want. You don't actually need a 9 inch, the 8.8 can be made just as strong as a 9 with the proper parts.
And yes, physically the 87-93 front end can be bolted onto your 86, but the fenders, nose, hood, lights, all would have to be switched over like Kyle said. But it can be done, especially if you can find a donor car.

I don't really have to have a 9" I just want to know what other factory made ford cars have a 8.8 with disc brakes.
