Suspension/Steering / 4 to 5 lug swap
So I'm looking at getting a 99 mustang gt vert with 17" cobra rims that's in rough shape can I use the rear axle, front spindles and brakes and wheels on my 87 5.0 tbird? I see a bunch of people recommending the 94-98 spindles but I didn't see anything about the 99+

Engine Tech / random high idle
my 87 5.0 bird has a random high idle issue, there are no codes, I've cleaned the IAC then swapped it for another one I had on had. She doesn't do it all the and there seems to be no rhyme or reason as a matter of fact it wont do it for a couple of days then all of a sudden it will start up again, other than that she runs fine its just annoying sitting at a light and all of a sudden the idle jumps up...any thoughts

Engine Tech / 87 5.0 oil leak
Never mind,  I accessed it from the bottom 26mm socket and it came right out. I bought the part from O'Reilly there computer said without gauge without digital dash but I used it anyway and it seems to be fine, 6$ & my oil leak is, fixed

Engine Tech / 87 5.0 oil leak
So my 87 5.0 bird is leaking oil from what looks to be the back of the timing cover but really it looks farther back than that, where is the oil pressure switch I'm hoping it that because I don't feel like doing the timing cover ...here's a short video real short I thought I recorded more https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKj7KDilIOo...any thoughts

Lounge / a couple of other past foxes
I did do this swap I took a lot of the parts from and 88 tc and put them into an 88 lx 4cly 5speed it was a fun little car and got great mileage, I used the engine, trans, rear diff, sway bars, wheels & tires, brakes and seats I basically made my own svo coupe, this was done about 7 years ago
