I think they use the fronts from 70's Granadas.

the easiest way to convert is junk yard look for a granada 70-79 the spindles bolt rite on
i have a brand new set
spindles
rotors
calipers
bearings
seals
brake hoses
complete in boxes ready to bolt on lmk
or
to use 94-2004 cobra front brakes u need a custom made bracket that bolts rite on to your stock drum spindles and allows u to run 13inch rotor and caliper let me know i have the web site to order them from i jus got me a set
as for the rears the best is a versailes 9" rear end because it comes with disc brakes but you have to get it custom fit to width or cut down some but that gets real expensive unless you know how to do it you self. rear 5 lug drums u would have to look for a 73 or newer maverick that has 5 lug and they sell bracket to convert to newer 96 and up disc brakes

How much for the front stuff? And I can only run 96 cobra brakes if I make that plate right? Also do sn-95 wheels fit after 5lug conversions?

http://www.discbrakeswap.com/Mustang%20Disc%20Brake%20Conversion%20Kits%20CATALOG.html check this for the front and there is also a ton of kits to use modern mustang brakes on an early ford. right now im using a cobra rear disc brake conversion it was easy to hook up the e-brake.

What rearend did u use? I been reading a lot of people saying foxbody rearend is the perfect one, it's jus that u have to cut somethings off and weld some more on??
