Cool SCORE!! Local Paper

Never read the local paper for parts, just happened to be casually looking and what do I find:

1999 Mustang Cobra IRS - TLok 3.27
Just arrived back home with new parts below-- so much for the 7.5" Rear I have.




Very happy with my find and all for $400CAD

My bet is solid axle swap.

Gator Bait
Didn't see the donor but how I under stand things the donor was in an accident and the front was totaled off. The engine and tranny,( I asked), was stuffed into a 95GT and as Gator suggested the owner decided to stay with the solid rear axle. He did keep the calipers / rotors off of the IRS for his swap and well I got the rest. Think I will go with a stroked 351,(427), for next project as I am NOT a brand X man. Time will tell as I am staying with the 331 / 3.55 TLok 7.5 for my current NA build. I just couldn't let this gem go, price was too good.
