    Dumb question..

    I dont know if this would work but I have a 93 ford ranger at work with a 8.8 rear end with 3.55 gears..did they use the same rear end in mustangs and rangers? It would be great if I could put it on my car because it would save a ton of money but not sure if it would even fit..Thanks!
