I would think rear brakes would be easy. I mean it's a ford 8.8 what mustang or I performance ford doesn't have one. I don't know but couldn't you just swap caliper brackets and every thing should bolt on.

The problem I see is who is out the time and money for junkyard parts from various applications just for trial and error?

I have not done any real checking, but I think that the issue is probably the emergency brake setup.

Looks like I'll have to spend a day at pull a part checking this rear brake deal out. I really think this can be done fairly simple. I wonder if the axles stick out further or closer from the housing flange on different models\years.
So many projects so little money.

You have no idea about anything. And I read you are doing a turbo build?
Good luck sir!
Although it may appear a simple concept, the implementation is not as easy as you think. There are a lot of parts to line up.
Go ahead and design and build a kit, your work may be appreciated. Be warned we are a tough audience, and the heavy Marauder is hard on brakes. Any weakness will be set upon mercilessly.

That was a Dick move. Tough audience or not no need to cut someone down. I'm not the most knowledge person but I research before doing anything. Saying I don't know anything isn't cool in my book you dont know me. but hey thanks for your support

Now you are contradicting your original statement.
As the guy above said, if you come up with something, it will be much appreciated.

Zack has a point though. And, if there was some easy bolt on swap I'm sure it would have been discovered long before now. Would be great to see an option for the rear though, if you find something please share.

I really appreciate the work Zack and Jerry did on the fronts. And I would appreciate any significant work done to figure a cost effective solution for the rears. I don't have the time or know-how to design these things from scratch and I'm thankful for those of you who do the work.
For the time being, I'd just love to pay for some brackets. Everybody chant with me: JER-REE! JER-REE! JER-REE! JER-REE! JER-REE! JER-REE!

Chanting with you as well even though I have my brakes complete. I love walking in my shop and seeing the big rotors filling up the wheel. I haven't driven my car since I completed the install and test drove it. Just awesome to look at

There two options for modded rear brake kits on a Marauder , Todds (TCE) kit , or Modify your own kit , Ill go with Todds custom kits every time! sometimes its easier and a smarter choice to break off dead presidents and get a product that has been modified and refined by someone who is the best at custom brake kits.
