All Fox platform cars ('79-93 'Stang, T-Bird, Cougar, Bobcat, Fairmount/LTD, Marquis) all use the same suspension. What you need to look for is the '74-'78 Mustang or the '71-'79 Pinto for the correct suspension. Also, the Maverick and Comet use that suspension. Would probably be easier/cheaper to get an aftermarket crossmember than try to hunt one of those cars. You'll get a better part that way.
