8.8 Rear

[bjam2]

Will a 8.8 from a Fox body fit on a 1998 V6. I'm guessing it's not as long, but how much shorter is it and would it just bolt in or what?

And they say it's easier to just swap a supercharged 3.8 SC engine than just the supercharger. So how easy is that. Do all the electronics just bolt up or what?

Yes, you have to remember that the 79+ years vehicles have been on the same platform so they will bolt up with minor difficulties!

why the need for the 8.8? the 7.5 isn`t that bad. my procharged 98 with 7.5 and 3.73`s is fine and pushing 300rwhp. i have a friend with a V8 ranger with 450+rwhp and the 7.5 loaded with 3.45`s and T-lok with 295-50-15`s and has been fine for over 3 years on it

i just put a rear girdle and stud kit on my 7.5 because i`m heading for more power real soon

the girdles costs $159 and stud kit is about $30.00 from www.taperformance.com

click here for a pic of my 7.5 with the girdle http://www.mustangmods.com/data/8456/pics.2_031.jpg

the red circles in my pic is where the girdle hit my procharger in-line fuel pump. i had the move the pump back to clear

Ya but I would spend $400 on just upgrading the gears to 3.73 and still have a weaker rear end and no limited slip. I can get a 8.8 1990 stang GT rear for $200 OBO.

Are they the same length? I heard the axles from a 7.5 and 8.8 interchange, so i can just use my axles and brakes, correct?
