Well, what all off a stang will work. The seats, some if not most of the suspention. Is there anything else?


why not focus on getting your bird to run before spending money on another shiney turd..

As far as I know , a freind is coming to help me on the 30th. I'm told it will at the least sit and run if not drive. Thats why I'm asking

The seats will work...BUT, you'll have to bolt 'em to the Tbird tracks, as the floorpans are different.
Cluster will not work w/o a ton of mods...you can use the Stang dash, bu unless you have wiring manuals for both stang and bird, i wouldn't attempt it.
Rear in a stang is narrower,and if it's a 2.3 stang, it's a 7.5 anyway. IMO..the 200 for it would be better spent on a carb and intake for your Fila..2.3 stang seats aren't that great anyway...

He's got an '84 - the rears are the same width. I wouldn't bother about the rear end though - if it had traction-lock it might be worth it, but an open wouldn't do you much good with your planned engine mods...

Alright. So seats are a maybe. The guages are a probaly not, ant the rear is a joke. If anyone has anything else to add that I can take or use let me know please.

Housings? yes...axles themselves? no.  The 84's still had the longer axles.

Not worth it regardless.
