I am using the axles out of the same Lincoln without modification to the axle itself, although there are other modifications you will have to consider in this project, primarly being the diffrence in the brake cable and the readjustment rear/front proportioning valve below the master cylinder among other things. Basicly you are attempting to do the same thing the original SVO Team did in the "eighties" with the "famed" 84-86 SVO. The brakes off the SVO's are in fact the same as the Lincoln Mark VII....
As far as the wheels are concerned I am currently using the "93" 17" Cobra R rims with 245/45ZR17 tires on both front and back !!!
NOTE: REPLACE FRONT FENDERS FOR THE LARGER OPENING 90-93 FENDERS..
