Is this a Turbocoupe rear?

I have what I thought was a Turbo coupe 8.8 and while I'm sure it's an 8.8 that's all I'm sure of  . What has me confused is the distribution block on the rear for the brakes . Mine has a fixed hose attached like a Mustang  . I got one from a Mustang Salvage guy who says he has 5 Turbo coupes and they all look different .

As far as I know, the only 4-lug rear end with vented disks. Most newer cars have solid rears. the 93 cobra also ran the turbo coupe rear.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

It looks like a Turbo Coupe rear. I haven't looked at the brake distribution block on one so hopefully someone with more knowledge will chime in.
