I'm not sure when they started droping them in, but they will slide into a 79 as easy as a 93.

Ya, I'm preatty sure they both have the same mounts, but I really need to know the year, unless someone has one for sale.

I'm getting deployed next month, but when I get back, I'll have some money ready to buy.

The first year the 8.8 was in the Mustang was 1986.
