5.0 swapped aero (92-97) or whale (98-02) crown vic....or an 86-91box vic. Front springs are the same as the stang, 8.8 rear, double a-arm front suspension... 5.0 drops in the 92-97 using box vic (79-91) engine mounts. Same lug pattern as the stang. 17x9 fits easily all around.
With 245/45/17 710's I was a few seconds slower than the cobra kit cars with my wagon that had 1300lbs on the cobras and was down ~200 hp. My car had springs, shocks and and upgraded front swaybar....That's it....
