Buying an 8.8" rear

84_GT350 · 06-18-2001, 02:34 PM

But again, this has to be a STREETABLE rear end. I can't use a spool on the street and, while I could probably use C-clip eliminators for a little while, they'd eventually leak. Here's what the guy from Currie told me. Does this sound like a good deal? :

I assume you are looking for a housing with the later model 78-93 brackets mounted on it? For one of our housings complete with the 8.8 center, all of the mustang brackets installed, 3" tubes, and 9" housing ends would run 499.95. Add 159.95 for the LPW aluminum cover with the carrier cap stabilizers. 600 h.p. is going to be pushing the outer limits of what an 8.8 can handle though. I carry all the rest of the parts to do a complete build up on this rear also.
