new Rear end

midevialgnight · 05-02-2003, 01:53 PM

Hello all, I have an 82GT and want to get a new rear end 8.8 or 9" for it but I am not sure what size (width) I should be looking for. Does anyone know what width these are? How are they measured? Would it be safe to assume the fox stangs are all interchangeable?

Thanks!

As far as I know, all fox stang rear ends are pretty much interchangeable. You can also use a 8.8 out of a t-bird or cougar, but it is about half an inch wider, maybe a bit more. Everything bolts up, but your wheels stick out a bit more.

86-93 and the SN-95 housings will work, just reuse your axles.. they're the same.. the sn-95 have 1/2 in wider axles.. but the housing is the same .. thats what I have in my 84...
