Hey
I have a 1967 Ford Mustang with a 8 inch rear with drum brakes, I would
like to know where I could get a complete 9 inch rear along with the
disk brakes on it that would bolt right up. Is this possible or not? Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

The hot set-up is a complete assembly from a '70s Ford product called a
Lincoln Versailles, which was essentially a tarted-up Ford Granada. They
came stock with a 9" rear end and 4-wheel disc brakes. I'm no expert on
the subject, but I seem to remember reading that is as near a bolt-in as
you might find for a 67-68 Mustang.

BUT, there was some discussion here not too long ago that the supply of
these in wrecking yards is really drying up. You could also have a
rear-end specialist make up what you want, but that route is likely to
be very expensive. You might call around to some local wrecking yards --
especially any that specialize in Fords -- on the off chance that they
have a Versailles rear.

Hope this helps.

Use parts off a a crown vic or some new ford, The rotors should fit fine,
you will have to fabricate a caliper bracket, but that should be quite easy.
