4 cyl swap...rear brake line
Hey guys. I just bought my first mustang and am new on here. Lookin for some help. The car I bought is an in process 4 cyl to 302 (carb) swap. The car runs and everything, but has an 8.8 rearend in it. And the guy says he couldn't get the rear brake line to connect. My question is, where do I get this brake line? Do I have to make it? Is there a place you guys would reccomend buying one from? Lookin forward to posting a bunch more on here. Thanks for the help.
Bubba

any auto parts store, then get a flaring tool, very cheap fix

Do I just go in there and tell them I need a brake line for a 93 5.0? Or do I just need to buy some line?

I would try a junk yard, but it might be hard to find some that weren't just cut at the brake cylinder.

It's an original 4 cyl car. Bit has a new 8.8 in it. So basically which ever line I would need to replace. From what I've gathered, I'm gonna need to replace the one running down the center of the car.

I just bought the car and the 2.3 is gone. It already has a carb'd 302 in it. He just didn't finish it and the rear brakes is like the only thing keeping it off the street.
