Does it really matter if I buy one new or used? I want to use an 8.8" rear with bearing cup housing ends from a 9", 31 spline axles, 3.27 gears, and a Torsen differential but I'm wondering if I should order one new from Ford or buy a used one and build from that and save some $$$. Or do places like Currie and Strange sell built STREETABLE modifed rears like this? Does anyone know if new or used makes any difference?
