Help with SVO rear end for 90 gt

from what i understand, the SVO rear end was just a 5 lug 8.8 thunderbird turbocoupe rear end. probably the same thing you can buy from any lincoln mark VII LSC. both of those rear ends are fox body rear ends and will bolt into a mustang, but are .75" wider PER SIDE than a standard mustangs rear end. you will have to measure the tire clearance you have on your car now to see if it will fit. if your tires can stand to stick out another 3/4" on each side, go for it. is this rear end 4 or 5 lug? if its 4 lug with 3.73 factory gears, its an 87-88 turbocoupe rear. if its 5 lug, its either an SVO unit, or a mark VII rear with 3.73's installed. automatic turbocoupes typically came with 3.73 gears.

regardless, if you have the clearance to put it in and the rear is in good shape, its worth $300. you cant buy a ring and pinion and have it installed in yours for that cost. tire clearance is the only reason my mustang still wears its drum brakes out back.

by the way, i am not entirely sure if the lincoln rears came with the quad shocks or not. ive had multiple turbocoupes and recall them having them.
