Rear disks?

[bearhole]

Looking for info on rear disk conversion. Years t-bird or lincoln. I have the small bearing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, this site has been invaluable.

79 Mark VII is what's on the back of my 73....has the provisions for e-brakes as well. Just tough to find sometimes.....

Small bearing is going to be a problem when using Tbird and or Lincoln setup if I remember correctly.
Most of the Lincoln will need the old style big bearing end and the Tbird is hit or miss if it needs the old style or the Torino style end.

The Lincoln set up I'm using is off of a 77 MarkV. Big bearing 1/2" flange bolts.

Lincoln definitely requires a big bearing rear end. The bolt pattern is for a big bearing setup, and the caliper brackets double as the retainer plate, so the small bearing will be noticeably smaller than what should be used with the groove for the bearing.

There is a rear disc tech article here on the site:

With a little work you can use the crown vic conversion, thats what I used on mine and works great. You have to have the rotors redrilled and the center taken out a little. But on the plus side the emergency brake system is very easy to convert over to a bronco. Mine is the small bearing and about the only conversion I could find.

The 8.8 rear works with a small bearing.
