well 86 and up V-8 stangs have 8.8 inch rear-ends with 2.73(most common), 3.08, or 3.27 gears. The Thunder Bird turbo coupe also has a 8.8 with disks brakes, it comes with 3.55's or 3.73's

Tireburner, you forgot to mention to him that the T-Bird 8.8 axle is wider and may cause tire rub.
2.73 and optional 3.08's on manual cars. Auto's had the 3.27's.

You could check either the scrap yards or Ebay. I think Mini-vans come with 7.5" rear axles??
saw a used carrier and 3:73 gear set sell for $100 on Ebay.
