See if you can find someone that modified their V8 Mustang and has the leftover parts. You would end up with drum brakes but they would be stronger than the 6 cyl stuff you have now. If you still have the stock 6 cyl rear end you also need a V8 rear. You will be lucky to get by with spending 1 grand more to get this thing to safely run with a V8 in it. You need V8 springs, too. Finding someone who took this stuff off their car to upgrade it and is ready to part with the leftovers will be the cheap ticket trick. Good luck.
