i have a 92 notch that im converting to all GT stuff. Quick question to anyone who may no does the 8.8 rear swap directly onto the 4 cyl control arms? Because looking at the two rears it dosent seem like its going to fit.

mine was a direct swap... exept you have to get the quad-shock brackets off the v8 car and put on the 4cyl car

When I did my 93 it was a direct swap. My donor car was an 89 GT and I did the same thing for the quad shocks, just unbolted the brackets from the 89 and bolted them up to my 93...

The rear shocks are the thing that is different, you have to buy or get a set made for a 8.8. They mount differently.
