you guys sound like a bunch of monkeys trying to f-ck a football..why doesnt everone get on the same page and then go from there
first of all some people are talking about K members and some people are talking about transmision cross members..the k-memeber(frame under the motor)is the same on all fox chassis mustangs
crossmembers(under the tranny) are diffrent on 4 and 8cly..infact they dont even bolt up to the same brakets..all fox chassis have brakets for 8cly..on the 4 cly they add an additional bolt on braket to adapt the 4 cly crossmember..

ok and as for the control arms being pushed more outward over the years is not true..how wuold you expect to move the arms outwards and leave the same mounting brakets on the rear..if you change the angle on one you would have to do both..and i never heard of some being beefier than others either
ok, tranny you really got to get rid of besides being weak its a real PITA to get it to work with a 5.0..
as for the rears if the car came as a 4cly auto then it will have 3.73's in the rear..i have been running a '90 4cly rear(7.5") for 2 months scene i blew up my 8.8 and it works fine but i wouldnt recrmend doing it for long cuz they are extremely weak for 5.0s..
i have done EFI 4cly to 5.0 swaps b4 so if you have any questions feel free to email me
