I found two 66 T-Birds at the local Pick n Pull and both of them have power front disc brakes (4 piston calipers) and they're in excellent shape. And I'd really like to fit them onto my 65 stang. Is there anyway possible this can be done? Will they mount up? Any help on this subject would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Yes. The calipers should mount directly to your present spindles (8 cyl). Also take the rotors and hardware.  ------------------

Awesome man! Completely and totally awesome! I'll I was going to buy the complete setup so this is great! Gotta get there early and get 'em while there still there! Do you think the power brakes would be able to be crossed over as well? Or is that pushing my luck?
Thanks again,
Luke

The BIRD booster will be too large for the application. You will need an origional booster installation or one of the new aftermarket kits. Actually, manual disc with these style calipers will be all you need.Now be advised this style caliper is subject to piston freeze (8) and will most likely have to be overhauled if has been sitting. -Stainless Steel Brakes- will take them, install stainless sleeves and pistons w/ stainless crossover lines and there will be no more freeze-up. This setup was available on the 65/67 MUSTANG factory, so parts will be readily avalable. The BIRD caliper has larger pistons and uses a larger dia. rotor than the MUST/FAIRLANE. ------------------
