Hey guys, im looking to put an 8.8 back into my 94 gt, some yahoo must have broken it a while back and swapped it for a 7.5. Since theres a lack of gts at local yards, im wondering what other vehicles i can look under to find one that will fit. I plan on doing a full rebuild so a matching housing is all i need. I THINK all 8.8s have the same axle lengths and such, but the mount locations im clueless on.
Any thoughts ?

Apparently my ex-husband made that mistake.

Ugh, I think the only axle that will fit is one out of a 94-95 Mustang. The 96-98 axles are slightly wider, and have different diameter bolts for the control arms. I know Mustang Parts Specialties sells them for around $500 to $600.
