    The drive shaft fits right in too.Just have to remove the 4 bolt flange.
    The best thing to do is to sell off all the FOX suspention parts and assorted stuff and use the cash for the right Mav parts.

    5 lug disk breaks off of a maverick or Granada. Youll need the spindles the caliper bracket, the rotors if there good and the caliper for a core if any thing.

    you can use all of this stuff.

    mac fenderwell cai, will have to do some modifications and cuting.
    forged long rod 306, you will have to change the oil pan and oil pick up to a front sump type.
    flowmaster cat back, you can use the mufflers but will reqire new pipes.
    shaved gt40's,msd coil, msd wires, msd 6al,
    e-cam,kevlar clutch,
    3g alt,underdrive pullies,c&l 76mm maf,
    tmoss upper & lower,65mm tb

    i figured i would need the oil pan and pickup,i may just switch to a carb setup to simplify things.

    i plan on using the engine,trans and rear end.

    you can go to a carb really easly. the trickest part is the distrubor. you will want to get a dist. for a 85 5.0 mustang with a manual transmission. it has the correct gear for the roller cam. it will work with you msd box. just follow msd's instructions. for the fuel system you have two options. change the front cover to a cover with a fuel pump boss or use a eletric fuel pump.
