Let me know how you deal with the rear brake lines. That's the one thing I haven't found answer to yet.

K, for the front, you have just (lower) A-arms, no uppers. :) You will need SN95 spindles because the 1994-2004 Mustangs used a hub system. It's a pretty nice setup and makes things a little more modern and easier to change and work on. The SN95's also had their own ball joints and I don't believe you can reuse the Fox ones in them.

Out back there will be some adapting needed to get the brake lines working. From all the SN95 rear ends I've observed, they're pretty much like a Turbo Coupe rear as far as the plumbing. That would mean reusing the main junction line (from the frame of the car) and adapting the brake lines on the rear to it. Or running new brake lines from the junction to the caliper hoses. It's one of those things where you have to figure it out once you're there. But the principle is the same as what you'd do for the TC rear end.

You will need to gut your stock prop valve and add the FRPP (Motorsport) M-2450-A fixed plug. This turns the stock prop valve into a simple brake line junction block. There is no actual proportioning of the fluid done anymore. You will need an inline prop valve for that. For 1987-88 cars you have 3 brake lines: left front, right front, and rear. The inline prop valve goes between the newly-gutted stock prop valve and the rear brake line. You'll need to make a short jumper brake line between them. Your stock booster should be fine for vacuum, so long as it's good now.

I think that's it for your swap-over. Just e-brake cables would remain after installation; you can use all 3 Turbo Coupe cables for that.

Jeremy, the "earlier" SN-95's used the same single hose from the body to the axle the Fox cars did, but later they switched to a hose from the body to each caliper separately.  I don't see the issue with T-ing the rear line on the body and running a new hardline to each side and connecting the hoses there.  The other option is to just run a single hose and build up hardlines on the axle.  The later would be the less expensive route as the hardline is cheaper than braided stainless.  The switch from 1 hose to 2 happened before the introduction of IRS....I don't remember though if it was '96 or '98 when they did it....
