I'm getting ready to convert the Cougar over to SN95 brakes (pbr)

All parts are coming off a fox mustang that was converted over.
Besides some late 85s having the wider rear end is there anything else I need to be aware of?

How about wheels. Any problem fitting the 99 cobra wheels or 94-95 Cobra wheels on the car.

The 85 "should" have the narrow(Mustang width) 7.5 housing, but it would be best to check the dimensions. The 86-88 TBirds/Cougars with the 7.5s for certain had the wider housing. Was the Fox converted with the longer SN-95 axles or the short Ranger axles?

I have 94-95 Cobra wheels on my SN-95 braked 83 Tbird.

I believe that they are SN95 axles. The car had bullit wheels but currently has try bars and the tires (stock size 245s) match the fender lips perfectly.

The parts should swap over w/o any problems.
