can i use a mustang rear end ?

hay every one,i was just wondering if i could use one of the wider rear ends out of a 67-70 mustang. i'm going to be using 14x7 magnum 500's with a 205/70 tire, for temporary use ( going to use 17x8 mustang bullit wheels ) probably 2-3 months. and want to know if i will have a problem with the stock wheels untill i switch to the bullit wheel's ?..... thank's for any and all help.

 

The mustang rear will bolt right in with no problems. I believe it is 1" wider but the spring perch dementions are the same as a Maverick.

 

how about the wheels you think i'll have any trouble with them ?...... also can i use mustang leaf springs ? thank's again.

 

Hey Dave!
Nope, you have to use the Mav leafs. They are longer than the Mustang ones.

Stock wheels wont be a problem. Newer wheels may be, depended on the back spacing and tire you select.

 

thank's for the help guys...

 

is it best to stick with the leaf or go to coil over, i want to stick with leaf but some of my friends think its better to go to coil over and cheaper too. but i dont see it.

 

Getting new leaf springs ($120) is much cheaper, and easier than custom making and fabricating a whole coil over system...

 

Hey Corbin, where do you get your springs?

 

I bought mine at:

Great, thanks!

Did you order stock height or an adjustment up or down?

 

I got mine at the same place. I ordered 3 leafs and it still raised the rear 2 inches over how it was. I had to get lowering blocks to get it back to what I like.
