    I have a question I think one of you could help with.

    I have a 1967 Cougar sitting in the garage, will the rear end off of it fit in my 1972 Maverick 200 without any serious mods?

    Thanks

    Spring perches are the same, so it will bolt right in - BUT - the Mustang/Cougar rears are about 3 inches wider overall. So you will need a rim with more backspace to compensate for the wider axle. You may have to run a narrower tire to get the needed clearance on the wheel wells.
