Rear End

[Luis ramos]

Hi guys. New here. I gotta question. I did an engine swap on my 99 v6 with 95 5.0 everything stock. Used 95 trans but my question is on the rear end. I left the 99 differential. Is it alot of difference between the 95 gt and the 99 v6? Excuse my ignorance and thanx in advance...

First thing that comes to mind is No Trac-Lok.. Meaning during burnouts= One Wheel peel

In no way,was I trying to bully you,if that's how it came across then I completely appoligize.
Sometimes I go for the quick,funny answer and not really give much info lol.
If you where wanting more technical info-the 7.5 rear end(V6) has a smaller ring and pinion. No limited slip etc. here's a link to a thread with some more specific info:

Nuhh man, i was talking about some friends with cobras and mach 1, when we burned out. Bunch of spoiled bastards lol. I just wanna do some research whether changing gears or not, or the most important question" what gears to use".

95 8.8 axle isn't really ideal to swap into a 99-04 mustang. The control arm mounting bolts are a different size, and the 99+ rear is wider than 94-98 Mustangs, so any wheels you mount up will be drawn inwards.

Best to track down a 99-04 8.8 axle out of a GT. They come with 3.27s stock...but a lot have been upgraded

I really apreciate you took the time to share your knowledge man. As a matter of fact i was already looking for a 95. I thought since is a 95 engine might as well be the same year. But now i'll take your advice i count... thanx again brother
