    Hi all, I have a 72 comet v8 car with drums all around and I just can't get them to work good at all, and as a lot of people are, I'm on an extremely tight budget, I may have found a sub frame that is all complete from a 71 t bird and was wondering if anyone knew if I could make this discs work on the front of my comet?? Thanks!

    I could be wrong but iirc the fullsized bird had bigger spindles with different hub diameter. Intermediate models and Grenada swap would be pretty cheap.

    T-bird in '70s was based on full size models, AFAIK nothing swaps with the intermediate & compact models...
