I'm looking at a '94 3.8 5pd with 147k miles and a blown head gasket for a parts car, and I was wondering if all the 5 lug stuff out of the v6 car would work on my '88. What rearend is in it? Does anyone know what tranny it has?

A lot of stuff will work. Axls, spindles, seats, master cylinder,brake booster, tranny should but you may need to change something on it i believe..

The 5-lug stuff will all work. You could even take the rear off the SN95 and put it right under your Fox if you wanted to.

Cool, thanks guys. I just wasn't sure if there was a difference in the v6 stuff. Me and my buddy might be buying it. Mainly for the interior and 5 lug stuff.

Is there a difference between V6 and V8 Sn95 rear ends? If not, it'll fit in a Fox. If so, I was wrong.

v6 is a 7.5" axle, v8 got the 8.8. axles will swap between the two though, and the brakes and suspension are the same.

Did you know the v6 has a 7.5?

Yeah, all of my rear brake stuff came from a '95 v6. Even the axleshafts.
