Lincoln MKVII front rotors w/o ABS, use the MK bearings and seals, and Ranger left drivers side axles and drums. The right sides are too short, so you need to find two Rangers. If your lucky you can find Rangers with 10" drums so you can take the drums,backing plates and all. Easiest swap out there.

I agree. Just read about this swap the other day.

thanks for the insight

yes sir. Let us know how it goes. I was considering it myself. Thats why I was reading about it.

prob wont be done until the spring, but i want to start looking around now.

If you want the rims that bad, do the coversion.

If you go the disc/drum swap either junkyard or the kit 50resto sells you are still limited to what rims. For example, the Ford racing 95 cobra Rs will not fit on the back the offset is different. They used to make some that were just for this conversion, but discontinued them.  My suggestion would be to call the company sellin the rims  and ask them if this route will fit them.

does it matter what year ranger?

thanks for all ur help...i knew i could get some good hints here

I think fer the time and trouble, I would prolly get the kit from Blue Oval Indeusties.

yea that looks the best so far

$500. bucks!??!   front rotors * 87-89 MK VII - Wagner part # BD60789 $50. ea                     seals  - National # 9150S  $8. ea  inner bear. BCA # A5 $9. ea                     outer bearing  -  BCA  # A12  $7. ea     8.8 cover gasket  FelPro  part # RDS55341  $6.      3 qts 80/90 posi lube  $3. ea

                        drums   * 83-97 Ranger 9"   part # BD60787  $30. ea

             U-Pull-It junk yard axles  -  $15 - $30 ea

   = WAY LESS THAN $500.00 bucks

                       

True, 500 bucks may be a bit high, but that was with brand new axles. Just not sure if I want to go to the junk yard to pull the parts.

Blue Oval will sell the kit for $295.00 plus the shipping $59.00. I guess it will depend if I want to save a 100 bucks, or how valuable my time is to me.

will the blue oval kit help increase the wheels options?

and will the ranger axles hold 450+rwhp?

i might end up saving up for the cobra 5 lug conversion with some stronger axles...i only want to do it once if i can help it...thanks for all your info

 

let me know how you make out with the pull-a-part hunt for parts!
