Now, when i run into some extra money I'm going to try this:
Items needed:
Bullit calipers
Banjo bolts
Caliper bracket drilled 0.7" in from stock spot
A little grinding here and there...
This setup was on my SHO and it was great - and the bolt pattern and rotor size are the same as on the Mark 8.
Sure the offset is different but it can't be that far off.
This setup allowed me to use my 16s on the car.

OK, so since its so freakin cold I know I wont work on the front suspension stuff untill spring so I am gonna do my brakes now since they are easy to do and I just hate the stockers.
So this is what I have (will order) so far:
Mach1 Calipers $190
FRPP Cobra rotors $140
Russel Cobra braided lines $70
Bleed kit and the fance fluid Frog told me to get $80
Machine shop to drill rotors $60ish
So for $550 I will have a Cobra kit with braided lines and the brake bleeder kit I always wanted.

dunno if the cobra lines will fit to the car, but i know the stock lines can fit the cobra calipers with slight modification to the caliper.....

I got mine at Classic Tube from Tom.
DLF might know if the Cobra lines work, as he was one of the first to do it and his write ups have been used for ages for us and the T-Birds...

Yeah, I believe in the step by step that I read of his that he had custom ones made. I just did some more research and by only judging the pictures it appears the Cobra line is 2-3" shorter which makes sense because the Mark has much more suspension travel.
After some more digging I found a T-bird kit but they are $160 shipped and the $60 Cobra ones were a better deal. So I guess I will just grind down my banjo fitting and keep the stock lines.

Thanks again guys for the excellent info. I have ordered everything I need today to do the job. Not only did I build the setup for $96 less then the kit with the solid rotors but I also get braided lines front/rear, high performance fluid, drilled slotted rotors and a one man bleeder system.
Now I have to find some small letter stickers that are a little larger then the stock Cobra lettering so I can make them say "LSC" in black on silver surround.
I would prefer a Lincoln badge but dont know where I can get the star in that size.
Here is my sub $440 CObra brake setup with all brand new parts. :wrench
