Exclamation

I hate to say this again and I know that noone wants to believe it but the crossmemebers are different. My friend works at Ford and the part numbers are different! His brother did the swap in a 93 vert and we aLL believed the same thing. When we got the motor in, the driveshaft pinion angles were wrong and the motor sat wrong in the engine bay. And no the car was never wrecked. The control arms for different years are also different. The later the year, the beefier the control arm and the more outward they are placed for better handling.
