Okay I picked up a 92 crown vic with a blown motor for 100.00 ! It's got a disk break rear end 8.8 open. The car has ABS is this something I should be concerned about ? I don't care if I have this feature on my meteor. I read somewhere to use 2 drivers side e brake cables to use the ebrake does this sound right ? I think I scored pretty good on this one - now I gotta cut it out !

I'm gonna try 2 drivers side rear axel shafts from a bronco 2 and cut the crown vic axel tubes down, this was talked about in an earlier thread. Anyone know if I'm gonna have any problems with the factory abs system ? I just want to eliminate it -I'm thinkin it's probably no big deal  ? |

With a T-coupe 8.8", thats the drill
2 right side Bronco 11 axles
If i remember right, the axles govern how much you gotta shorten
its 1.75" per side

That pretty much covers it. Regarding the two Explorer ebrake cables, I did that but I am using the explorer/F150 rear discs too. Not sure if the Crown Vic backing plates are the same.

With 31sp axles, you have to look under Pickups, Explorers, Expeditions, etc. or buy them custom. Unless you plan on a whole lotta hp, 28sp are fine. The track lock carriers are cheap and available.
