    Disk to drum conversion

    Thanks, I was not aware of this. I'll call the dealer and see if this is the case, and since they're usually less than helpful, i'll look into getting one from a newer model as well.

    Disk to drum conversion

    As far as I can tell the rear disk setup (inc. size) is almost identical between the mustang gt and the later model explorers with factory disk brakes. I have also learned that the only other mod. to be done in this conversion is to adjust the rod between the booster and master cylinder out as...

    If you haven't already done your motor/trans swap, performance automotive transmission center (PATC) makes an adapter plate to bolt in a 700R4 in place of the A4LD. Then you could still run your 4.0l, but have a decent tranny with lots of aftermarket support. Tranny swaps are easier than motor...

    Well gettin' ready to swap a TJ or an XJ front D30 into this 1992 explorer and have some questions I'd much appreciate some input on. I've decided to go with a pre made long arm setup with 6" explorer lift coils and a track bar to keep it located. I don't want to have to fab an upper control arm...
