Ok , so i have my build planned out , pretty straight forward upgrade everything else then do a 347 stroker swap . now for the questions .
1. what if any mustang suspension components can be used on these cars , i would imagine some can be since these are fox cars correct ?
2. i assume my 87 grand marq has an Aod . is that correct ?
3. can i use gears for a mustang 8.8 rear ,
4. when swapping in a 5.o what do i need to swap in the motor ? computer , electronics ?????
thanks for any help .

First off read the stickies. These are not fox cars. Some exhaust pieces will work though. It does have an aod unless someone swapped it. And it will use mustang 8.8 gears. As well as truck 8.8 gears and explorer 8.8 gears. They are the same.

Oddly enough, the rear suspension is frighteningly similar to the Fox body Mustang.....but no, not much of anything works from the Mustang, other than headers and H-pipe.

uses the same unequal legnth unparrallel 4-link as the fox, but is much closer to full size chevy's form the 70's.

the shocks and springs are chevy, and chevy control arms MIGHT work front and rear, no one has tried yet.

The rear suspension is similar only in as much as it's a 4 link with a shitty mounted swaybar. The coils are mounted in a better location, and the geometry seems like it is much beter in the panther. The rear shocks are close in dimension and are swapable depending on the setup of the panther chassis.

These cars are PANTHER chassis, and are basically a ripoff of a b-body GM car.

And as mentioned, read the stickies, all the info is there. We've already done everything.
