![]() Would I be better of buying an 8.8 that is used and building it up or is this a part that I should buy new? It is for a 1994 and want to put in 3.73.
Also is Moser 31-spline axles any good with moser c/clip elimnator? What else do I need to build a strong strretable rearend. Thanks in advance.

![]() Use C-clip axles if it's going to be a street car. 31 spline Moser or Strange would be fine, what horsepower will you be running?

![]() We're in the process of doing our rear in our 88 GT, and I've read C-Clip eliminators should be use for 1/4 mile cars, they have a tendancy to leak on daily drivers.

![]() You can build up your current rear. why buy a new one or a used one?
You need an Auburn Pro, 31 spline STREET axles (no c-clip eliminators for the street) and some good gears, and youll be all set. can buy the aluminum cover also if you want, with the bearing cap set screws. |

![]() I believe he has a 7.5" rear end currently. A used one will work, just go with the parts that Mach 1 stated, they will work well. ~Brian

![]() I think the Ford F-150's use an 8.8 with a 31 spline. Dont know if it will fit under your stang though.
Its extremely easy to swap diffs and axles, so you shouldnt have any problems upgrading one. |

Thanks, E

![]() Hey thanks so much. One last question. I found an 31 spline Auburn Pro diff., 31-spline axles, SVO rear alum. cover, and 3.73 gears. Now I need a housing to put them in right? Is there anywhere I can buy a new empty housing that I can put all theses in. Is there anything else I need to buy? Thanks again for all your help.

![]() I think FRRP might sell an empty housing. why not go to a junkyard and get one, they junk the stock parts inside, and install yours?
