    I know I mention this often and its not for eveybody because you have to go to larger wheels but the mustangsteve kit bolts right to the the 5 lug drum spindles and you use either late model stang rotors/calipers or the 94-04 cobra rotors and calipers. Real easy to go to any parts house and buy parts for these set ups.

    Unless you can get it for free, I'd pass on it. Weak block, weak crank, lo-po motor. Nothing else on the car will work on your mav.

    I gave you a thread of your own instead of that other old thread you posted in. This way, I think you will get some others to join in the topic of what you can do with parts from an 85 Merc .................:Welcome:
