? about disc brake rear end

[cd86cpe]

I have a parts car i bought with what the guy say's was a 3.55 geared 8:8 t-bird rear end with disc brakes ? I question this because of fourth question below.


curious if they made an 8;8 without quad shock mount's?

and if there was any 7:5 rear ends with disc brakes?

I edited this because it is definately an 8:8 but not sure what it came out of now


Thank for any info you guy's can elaborate on

I ask this because I have a coupe that was a 4cyl car and rear end cover's look similiar

Turbo coupe and Mustang 8.8's have quad shock mounts. The TC requires the mounting holes be drilled 2" lower, but they are there.

Yes, 84-86 SVO Mustangs got disk brakes and 7.5" rear ends.

7.5" and 8.8's are virtually interchangable in terms of brake hardware. An 8.8 brake setup will fit a 7.5". The axle shafts are identical pretty much identical.

So you could take an 87-88 t-bird turbo-coupe disk setup, and

got some info

it's defiantely an 8:8 (but has no quad shock's mount's) . I know that it's 8:8 by photo's posted and compared it to other car which was a 4cyl coupe.
now the question is what year rea end it has speed sensor's on the axle's and looks like a panhard/ bar bracket on driver's side
tag code is 431d
3sl55 8:8 7mo3

doe's anyone on here know how to decode this

3sl55 8:8 7mo3

3sl55 3.55 gear ratio
8:8 8.8 rear end gears
7 1987 mDecember 03 3rd (this is the build date)

Its the SL that is throwing me for a loop... I've heard that SL can be found on TurboCoupe rear ends... but I'm not certain..

Odd's are now with that info it is a TC rear end with 3.55's (5-spd TC)

It did have ABS, and sound slike someone removed the quad shock brackets.
