66 Mustang 4 Lug To 5

EasyL32 · October 28th, 2007, 11:06 AM

I have a 66 mustang with a straight 6 and with 4 lug wheels on it. I recently came across a set of American Racing Torq-Thrust II's which are 14" x 7". Obviously I need to convert from 4 lugs to 5, however all of the information I have found is for guys who are putting in a V8. I plan to keep the 6 cyl in mine. I was wondering what all I need to do for this? Thanks.

I think you can change to disk brakes and change the lug pattern at the same time.

grab the front and rear from a 76 granada,disc brakes and 5 lug at the same time.

easy and cheapest is find a donor mustang that was a v8 and steal the rear and front spindles. .disc conversions are nice but kind of pricey.... I have a car waiting for you to pick apart in nj
thanks

I just finished upgrading my front drum brakes to disk brakes this last weekend. I decided to go with a company that supplies all NEW parts and EVERYTHING you will need in 1 package for a great price. I paid $550 (delivered) for all new parts for the Granada swap and did it in 1 weekend. I did not have to go and pull used (abused) parts in a salvage yard and then rebuild. New spindals Dual master cylinder , proportioning vale, bearings, rotors, calipers/pads ~ EVERYTHING you need.

TAke a look at the website and mention that you saw it here and the owner might give you his internet discount. It shipped from Texas to California in 3 days. I talked to the owner 3 times and he answered all of my questions because I thought the deal was too good to be true...
Take a look and hope it helps.
