Money is sort of tight, and I want to convert my 4 lug, 87 GT to a 5 lug, are there any axles maybe out of a different Ford that are able to be swapped into the stock 8.8 Rear? PLEASE HELP!

90 ranger axles need to be the driver rear and need to be 29 5/32" long (longer of the 2 axles) i just got mine from a junk yard for $30 ea. Oh and 7.5 ring gear size but good luck with the swap.

Then use ranger drums and 85 Lincoln mark VII rotors.

I bought a rear end off of a sn-95 mustang and bought the front spindles new for the same type of car and it came out fine
