What was the first year for the 8.8 rear in a 5.0 Mustang/Capri?

I believe 86, not positive, why?

Going to look at an '84 GT350 and was curious if it will have the 7.5 or 8.8.

Put this in your phone to decode the vin,door tag and the buck tag. The buck tag is usually on the core support behind the headlights.

1986 was the first year for the 8.8 into a Mustang from the factory.

Beautiful.
86 was also the first year for an H Pipe I believe.
Fuel injection as well. So many reasons I like the 86.
Last year of the four eyes which helps it stand out as a 5.0L. these days there doesn't seem to be many Fox Body's on the road so I guess that is a mute point now.

1984 was the first year of fuel injection, CFI injection to be exact. 2 barrel throttle body style. Only with an AOD and flat tappet cam.
