Next project since the most part of the 97 is done.

Wondering how to swap the four lugs out for an SN95 set up, at least for the front, and some other possibility for the rear...anyone done this?

For the front, google Mustang Steve...he sells a bracket kit for 13" cobra brakes, but you'll need to get a pair of 1965-1968 V8 Drum Brake spindles and hubs. For the rear, you will probably need to upgrade the rear end. A foxbody 8.8 fits perfect with a 17x9" wheel and 255/40ZR17 tire. Lop the 4-link brackets of the 8.8, weld on spring perches, and get a driveline shop to put the 8.8 style flange on your driveshaft. If you go with an 8.8 you can get brackets from North Race Cars that put the 11.65" Cobra brakes on the rear too.

Some day I'll finish it.

Anyone have a 808 Fox body rear for sale? This 65 is a straight 6, will it still fit?

It's tight, but it fits...when you do the front end conversion you have to run a 1-1/4" wheel spacer, so the track width ends up being right on the money front to rear. 225/40ZR17 tires on Bullitt wheels are perfect for all four corners and have a nostalgia look.

If you can't find a cheap 8.8 here, you can always try the pick n pulls down in SJ
