|  8.8 rearend into 65?
I've got an 65 289 mustang with an 8 inch rear end with street gears. I do too much highway driving and need to change the gears. I have a buddy that has a 85 mustang with an 8.8 2.73 gear set up. Will this rear end bolt up into my car. I appreciate the help. Thanks |

| Most 8" rear ends came with freeways gears, 2.80 being the most common. You shouldn't have any problems finding one. And the installation is a lot easier than putting a 8.8" housing in :-) ------------------ http://www.comports.com/2bav8 |
