anybody have part numbers or companies where they got their spring perches? just do a search for ford 8.8 into mopar swap or what?
so there are no issues mating up with the mopar springs or pins
Where did you get the spring perches from? Will a set of mopar performance ones fit?Here are some pics from my install. This thread was definitely a big help in all this. I left the rear at stock length and went with 275/60 on 15x8s with 4.5 BS. I got the look I was going for. A little more backspacing would have been ideal but it looks good to me.
Took me forever to realize the driver side caliper brake hose, the Y-fitting and the hose going to the master cylinder hardline are all one assembly. I had a tab welded to the inside of my new spring perches to mount it.
I bought these off eBay.Where did you get the spring perches from? Will a set of mopar performance ones fit?

I guess the mustang rear could be worth it probably if it was out of a GT, even with cutting all the brackets off it. Those come standard with limited slip and disc brakes and often with a popular ratio. Not sure if those are the right width without shortening them. Also wondering if the GT has the heavier duty splines. Not opposed to cutting and welding the tube. If i go that route i will be making the weld seam where the spring perch on that side will straddle the weld on either side of it to reinforce it a bit. Just asking the questions since I am now shopping for one of these for my kids car as it makes more economical sense.also, for what it's worth, the mustang axle is set up with coil spring perches, but i guess that doesn't really matter too much since you kind of have to torch off the perches and put new ones in the right place anyway
