i have a couple 8.8's and want to put one in my 86 3.8L. the 7.5 is totally shot, so i figure add a little more strength as well as a good rear end.... but i am wondering about this quadra-shock set up on the GT rear (8.8 is from an 87 GT), where do these two little stabilizer shock mount to on my car?

i dont see these shocks on my 7.5, or any other 7.5, but are the saddles for these shocks on my car already like i think they are, or am i going to have to change a few things.
i know someone has done this, and i figure it really is no big deal. thanks

you can bolt the 8.8 right in. i know on the SN-95 V6's the quad shock mounting points are there just waiting for the quad to be bolted to it.

if your V6 fox has the mounting points then just bolt up the quads
