You truly are passionate about foxes. I could only dream to be knowledgeable like you one day. Great work sir!
Dude you saved my ass! I have 8.8 w/C-Clip eliminators and run a 15" wheel on my Fox. The fancy disc brake conversion brackets, put my axles out a 1/4" on each side producing less spline contact at the spool. Not to mention Cobra rotors and calipers wont allow 15" wheels. I couldn't believe this would work till I did it. Bravo!
Great how you held the camera while doing this work. Amazing how you also played a snare drum.
Junkyard has made you a good mechanic
Never knew you could do that. Essentially any sn95 8.8 can fit fox length axels with sn95 brakes
I have a 83 TTOP foxbody (over 25 years) that had an engine fir last Fall and I was 90% complete with it. I always paid to get stuff done to the car but now I am learning cause I want to do it myself and your videos have taught me so much. Since my engine fire I have been spending close to 3 hours looking at videos but yours truly hit home and i can relate. My twin brother has a 70 Fastback and he is COMPLETELY RESTORING IT but he has a mechanics background. I DON'T. I am learning and I thank you.Keep up the good work with these videos.
Glad to hear your wrenchin' man keep going the rewards are great 👍
Thank u sir for making this video. When I was reading articles about this, they made it seem so hard. Ur video made it make more sense.
Thank you for this excellent, step-by-step tutorial. As always, your video ranks with the best for clearly expressed, thorough, guidance.
Dogg I have been looking for this swap tutorial or instructional video for years and have read instructions but you are the first video with informative instructions, thanks bro.
probably my most fav fox channel. so many great tips on budget upgrades
I knew about the axles but never dreamed you could take the SN95 housing and flip the brackets! Lol
Thats some real JYD right there, making one outta two LOL. Proof positive your a good soul, teaching us dirty folk and sharing info we can make a little money on, blessings on ya for that.
Very informative I will be doing this swap when it's time as my 85 has the 7.5 rear 86 was first year with 8.8
I didn't realize you could cut the caliper bracket and mount it on the inside. Wish I would of known that, I bought the bent ones when I did my swap. Love your videos.
I like that cordless ratchet! Nice job.
Great video. Straight to the point. Very informative.
Love the vids! You truly are a lifesaver when it comes to these do it yourself jobs!
Good informative video. Never done this work but lining up to do rear diff swap spring time. Been looking for 4.10 gears..
Awesome vid. I'm not even a fox body guy and can appreciate it.
Outstanding job Mr thanks share more Fords & Chevy swaps we van do to our olds Rigs Say hello Joe.
Hey brotha that was a really good video. especially how you cut those brackets and reused them. i’m gonna have to subscribe now!!!😂🤣🔥
Looks easy enough. Thanks for the video.
Goddamn that’s a good looking cover! Loved your vid man, subscribing!
Great job as always! You make it so simple! You are the best!
Exactly
Great work dude
This is a great video - subbed!! Builiding up an LTD foxbody on my channel, so this video I'll save for later 😎
Concrete yard must be nice. Gota lay in 2" of mud in these yards around here
This was a very good video very helpful thank you .
Impressive video! you know your stuff! I'm building a Shelby Cobra kit, using a 91 fox donor, gonna use this info!
I also have a 1991 fox body donor and I’m building a Shelby cobra kit car from Factory 5.
Awesome work ,respecto 🇲🇽 just subscribed 🙌🏻
Awesome video bro!!
Awesome video! Instant subscriber!
Hey man i sure wish you was still doing how to videos Dog your content is the best. Come back brother!!
I will soon. Just gettin back on my feet man
@@JunkyardDoggs I understand that brother. I’ll be watching for your content for sure.
Hell yeah Tony… super stoked to hopefully see yah back making Foxbody content bro. I’m always re-watching your videos for builds on my notch.
Great video. Thanks man.
AWESOME JOB!!! BTW… I want to upgrade the banjo rear end in my 1947 Ford pickup. Which will be the best rear end choice to swap and get more cruise enjoyment with a 302 engine and C4 transmission? Thank you!
Cool idea like the tricks an tips 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Love your videos! Quick question, will this also work with a 98 cobra axle?
Nice job! 👍
89 Foxbody 4 lug . So far this video is the most helpful one out there. No I have an 8/87 Lincoln LSC as my donor now will have to do is get information will my axles work and if I do. do I have to flip them or this is the only weak point that I see so far that I cannot find information on. Any info would be highly appreciated
Awesome job 👌👍
G.O.A.T.. great video.this helps a lot. what can you do to hook up e brake cable
Ill do a vid on the soon
Nice work
this work to mustang lx coupe 1990 4 cyl i believe it has 7.5 axle
Ok new Subscriber love it ,, I have an 8.8 out of a 5.0 took it out myself the tab under one of the bolts what does it mean - S225C 3L08. 88 4L14
I was told a rear from a 90s explorer would work also
That’s a clean axle. Mine never look that good😂
Very informative
Fixing to do this exact same thing
Man i wish you still made videos
Ill be back soon. Im still recovering but im back working and building up to get another shop
@@JunkyardDoggs Hopefully you doing well and see you make these great videos
Love your stuff! Hey jyd,do I have to use the passenger axles so one from one car and one passenger from another. I have a for lug 6 cylinder notch swapped to a 302.thanks
Where is the finned cover from please and is this rear for the twin super charger stand from awhile ago?
Man, that oil was clean
To save your self the trouble, just get the axles from rock auto . A lot cheaper than LMR. the set out the door cost me 137 dollars. All you have to do is buy studs they don’t come with the axles ..
I'm going to do this swap on my 8.8 that's going into a shelby cobra replica build. Using a Lokar floormount handbrake EHB-7000F. Any suggestions on how to make the e brake cables work...
Great video! Just so I understand, you can only use the passenger side axle from the aerostar and the drivers from the ranger/bronco 2? Why can you not use both sides from the aerostar?
Torsional twist force. After years of an axle rotating in one direction if you put it on the opposite side it will snap once you apply any real power. You wont have issues with a stock set up though.
I just bought a 90 LX 5.0. Not stock. It is still 4 lug but has disc in rear. I feel like the axle is wider than stock. Getting tire rub in corners. How can I identify the axle that is in it. Tnx
Are the axles 28 spline? And do you have to go with that axle set up or could I just buy 2 new Ranger axles? Thanks in advance.
Do u have a video for the front
What if you want to stay 4 lug. What brackets do you use for that.
I was wondering if I get a 1994 mustang with a V8 in it - would the rear end and 5 lug set up bolt up to my 83 foxbody? the disc breaks- the break lines- etc. That's what's going on here ? Except you get those shorter axles to keep stock length? Thing is though the doner car has 183k miles on it. Does that mean the rear end shouldn't be used? Love this channel and the foxbody secrets! 🔥💯💥 can same break master be used as well?
Is there a reason you're only considering older Rangers??? I've got 2 2006's Are they less sturdy then the older rears??? I'm actually putting an Expedition rear in the one because it has disc brakes. PLUS... originally it was on the ground, with the wheels still on. They needed room down the shop, so... anyway, they pulled the wheels off for me and put it on top of another vehicle. Saved me a lot of work... neither of my Rangers have rear sway bars, are they worth it???
I can’t find a 93 cobra rearend. LOL. So I can take from
Awesome video! Do you know if you can use the sn95 brackets this way and keep the 4 lug stock axles ?
Yes you can. If you find 4 lug disc brakes from a a Thunderbird Turbocoupe it works great
ik this is an old vid, but i just did a local junk yard scavenger hunt, no passenger side axles, so exactly how important is it to NOT use two driver side axles??
If I was to purchase axles new what size would they need to be
What a great video. Just picked up my first fox body. So why cant I use both axles from the ranger or the aerostar? Are the axles different lengths?
yes
Would you happen to know how many splines on a 89 saleen mustang axle.did they all use a 28 spline axle?
The reason you have problems with the pin retaining bolt it that the head is an 8mm hex.
will this work for a 66 mustang coupe?
I have a 85 svo rear end with disk brake how do I figure out the brake lines they're different form the 93 foxbody.
Ur on point!! 🇺🇸👌
Thx man. Junkyarddoggs.com
Do they have to be the same gear ratio,,mine is 3.73..
I have a question I cannot find it any information on. Is there any other vehicle with 31 spline that will fit for the fox body stock axle. And what was the rotor you used on this build from and year?
Could you help me out .. I have a 4lug 89 fox body reared I need to swap into a 85 cutlass which is 5 lug …5x120 ,which vehicle can I get the axles out that will work …??
Junkyard…. I have a 1986 automatic Ford Thunderbird. I want to put five Lugs Swap on it what do you recommend that I do can you let me know thanks.
On my 94 Bronco going with the gt40p heads and the Anderson n41 cam will I have to change the springs on my heads and if yes what do you recommend
Trick flow springs or comp cams for sure. Call them, tell them your set up and they'll tell you the part number
I've been looking for a video like this so by changing the axles you're keeping the track width of the fox body right
Yessir
@@JunkyardDoggs so I got a guy with a 94 5.0 rear that needs to be rebuilt but he is saying that rear will stick out about a 3/8 to a 1/2 more than the one on my car if I get that rear and change the axle will it be the same as the one in the video I'm just tryna keep the same width as I got now he said he has everything to do a disc brake swap all around except I would need to get spindles & the master cylinder all rotors are drilled & slotted already
I’ve been looking for this video for two weeks thank you so much. Only question I have is can we use up graded axles and c clip eliminators ?
Junkyard Doggs can I install c clip eliminators and a spool and 35 spline axles from strange or Mosier ?
Did you use the sn95 housing and if so are they the same dimensions as the fox housing? You should have added a parts list. Well done.
Yes the 86-93 and 94-98 axles housings are the same length, 99+ got longer housings.
Can this be done with a 99-04 rearend? or is the fox axle to short?
Do a irs swap please
Tony, can you use the stock M/C, booster, prop valve and lines? thank you. i really like your videos.
Yes you can my man.
@@JunkyardDoggs I have 69 mustang where I want a crazy engine and transmission swap in it and upgrading the differential.
Engine from 2006 Lexus 3UZ
Transmission toyota R155
Do you recommend the T5 from newer mustangs differential ? From what years you would suggest to look for if I would like the limited slip as well.
Thanks
@@thaieralawadh2223 94-98 V8 rear and a T5 from a 94-99 V6 Mustang
@@JunkyardDoggs 94-98 V8 mustang will those has the limited slip differential or 2005-2014 better ? Also, does it have to be pulled from a manual car ?
For transmission, I am not sure the T5 would fit better than the R155 ( it is common transmission with the Lexus 3UZ in here ).
Sorry it is my first time doing all this.
Hi what is the brake space
Man, I got my Ranger axle, but damn, the Aerostar is a pain. Twice I've striped the head on the 5/16" bolt for the pin. The van's at the yards here don't have keys, so unless there's another way to get them into neutral, I'll have to remove the driveshaft to rotate the axle and get a better position to wrench on the retainer bolt. Any suggestions?
Yes. To get them into Neutral, remove the selector connection from the transmission. The neutral position is usually two clicks from park. That way you can go from park to neutral without a key and rotate the driveshaft.
Can I do this and buy 4lug rotors for a turbo coupe 87-88 or do I have to use turbo couple brackets and calipers ?
You can do exactly the same thing, just change the rotors to 4 lug like u said.
So, I got a 1962 Ford F100 Unibody. Would I be able to use this, so I can have rear disc brakes and get rid of the drums?
As long as you have an 8.8 rear it will work just fine
Good video.. do u have a video for the front?
No sir but i will one day
@@JunkyardDoggs ok thanks sounds good
Tony, I have a mustang 5 lug rear end in my foxbody but don’t know what gear sn95 it’s out of ? My tires are sticking out a little bit . Can I still buy 8.8 5 lug fox length axles and install them to get the correct fox length rear end ?
Yes but you have to modify the caliper bracket like i did in the video and your gold
Question, is this setup with the sn95 housing but the shorter axles the same width as a stock fox rear end?
Yes
i just picked up a 1990 fox. i was told it has 3.73 gear. what model is that gear out of? what’s the spline count? i’m looking to do a 5 lug swap but would like to know before i start buying parts..
1990 fox has
Stock 2.73 gears 3.73 come from aftermarket and Explorers. Spline count is 28.
I have a 90 Fox Body with a 8.8, 28 splined, 4 lug rear end in my fox mustang....I have access to SN95, 5 lug rear calipers, flat mounting brackets, anti moan brackets, mounting hardware, rotors, brake pads, and SN95 5 lug, 28 splined axles...Will these parts bolt up to my existing Fox Body rear end...and will I still have the same overall axle width...or will I have to modify and move the caliper brackets to the inside as you did in the above video...Or.... should I scrap the whole idea and just do as you did above...
You can swap everything over. You will have a small increass in width but not much. No need to modify the brake bracket if your going with sn95 axles.
Hey bro I’m thinking of converting my 85 fox to a 5 lug. And I was going to do what u did and just replace the whole rear end. My question is does it matter if I buy an automatic or manual rear end? My foxbody is a manual and I just don’t wanna spend extra money on a dumb mistake lol
There the same my man!
I thinking of buying a 97 cobra rear end for my 85 mustang. Would that fit?
Yes but he wheel will poke out a bit. Depending on your wheel offset.
quick question, are you reusing the bracket (anti howel?) support you removed at 9:40 of the video. You swap the caliper brackets, but do the calipers stay on the original side or do they get swapped too? I'm putting the set up on a 91 fox 8.8.
the calipers stay on their sides i think, otherwise you wouldn't be able to get the air out with the bleeder screw on the bottom of the caliper
I got a diff 7.5 from a 98 v6 with 4.1 gear in it for 50 bucks, but i have pretty 4 lugs rims, the drum assembly will be a direct bolt in? I want to use my 4 lugs axlez
Bolts right in bud
Hay can this be done with a fox rear-end I noticed you sed that was a sn95 rear
Yes you can the axle housings are both the same width
does the disc brake brackets and calipers have to come off a 8.8 rear, or could they come from a 6cyl car/
The can come off a 6 cylinder car too they are the same.
Whats the advantage to using fox length axles?
Wider tires or wheel offset options
Could I use the factory 8.8 in my fox and just go buy the calipers and brackets from the yard?
Yes. If you want a 4 bolt disc brake rear buy rotors from a 88 Ford Thunderbird Turbocoupe with the calipers and brackets from a 94-04 v6 or v8 mustang
Junkyard Doggs I’m looking to do a 4 bolt. There are a set of 93 cobra rear calipers, rotors, and master cylinder at the yard. You think they will work on my 92 GT? Thanks for for being generous with all your knowledge!
So do you got to get axles from two different vehicles
Yes from Aerostar and Ranger. Or you can pull sn95 length axles from any 94-98 Sn95 mustang v6 or v8
Can using 94-04 mustang rear brake parts work for this swap as well calipers, brackets etc
Yessir!
@@JunkyardDoggs thanks man
