Fox body/platform question...

Post by mk »

I realize this is a wee bit off topic but I've just had a really nice '83 Zephyr given to me and I had a question for the fox experts. I'd like to change the wheels to five bolt hubs from the stock four bolt ones. I've heard talk that maybe the ranger front discs will work. Is this a fact and what will work as a source for the rear axles?

This place should have some information. They do mostly the Fox Thunderbirds and Cougars but there are a few members with Zephers and Fairmonts as well. I will look later for a thread on it over there if you need.
