Rear end swap

Recommended Posts

Has anyone put the rear end out of a 70's lincoln versailes into a 69 stang for the purpose of the disc brakes. Was it a direct bolt in, I've heard they're the same rear end. Any comments an that, pros and cons. What other cars had the same rear end w/disc brakes? Seems like that might be a cheaper way to get rear disc brakes.

Aren't those coil spring on the rear? I guess cutting the mounts off and welding perches wouldn't be a big deal. they're 3/4" narrower according to my info. if I wasn't staying all stock I'd check it out myself.

I just finished doing it. If you are doing it just for the brakes you'd be better off buying a rear disc kit. There are various ones to choose from.

 

I needed to upgrade to a 9" rear axle at the time. It bolted in without any real hassles. The disc brakes were a bonus.
