Isn't it wider than a fox rear axle? I'd wait and keep looking.So the only 8.8 I can find is 94 GT complete with 3.27 gears but it is $300, this would not be a problem but I have much of the parts already!
Do I bite the bullet and spend the $300 or keep looking?
housing is the same width, just the axles are longer. can be made to work with the right wheels or an axle swap.Isn't it wider than a fox rear axle? I'd wait and keep looking.
I think it pushes each side out about a 3/4 inch, correct?
LESS room for deep dish.

Aw yes very niceModifying the rear bracketry to pull the wheels in really is only needed if you are running 9" or wider rear wheels.
Since GroverDill has already committed to running a version of a Ford 17x8 wheel out back, it's not an issue to keep the SN95 width axles. In fact, the extra 0.75" out will help fill the wheel wells better. I have some old pics of 17x8's on my old 5-lug drum setup and the look was horrible. Rears were VERY sucked in. His decision to run the Sn95 axles in this case is the correct one.
EDIT: Had to dig waaay back for this one. 15-20 year old pic of my car with the '97 Cobra wheels and 5-lug drums out back. As you can see, those rear wheels are VERY sucked in.
Now, compare the above to the pic I posted here with 17x8's and the SN95 cobra rear disk setup.

I'd buy it.
Time is money IMHO. Cherry pick the best parts, get the rear in the car, and then sell off what you don't use. Can probably recoop ~$100 or so.
Plus I think 3.27's are a great cruising gear for a stock 5.0 that isn't going to be drag raced often. I wish I had 327's in my car.
I found the Cobra master cylinder on Amazon for $56 bucks!

Too mush tread on them, not enough burnouts, get busy!Modifying the rear bracketry to pull the wheels in really is only needed if you are running 9" or wider rear wheels.
