How's it going? New to the site. I did a search but did not find the answer I was looking for. I've got an 86 4cyl that's been converted to a 302. Someone else started the swap and now I've got the car and want to finish it up.
The 7.5 rearend is still on the vehicle.
Can I keep my same housing and build it to 8.8 specs?
At this point I need to keep it four lug. Local salvage yards don't have any mustangs at all.
What options are there?

Thanks, I know this is a dead horse but in the search I did not find one specifically like this. But I could have missed it to..

No, the housings are completely different.

Myself, I would wait for the Mustang housing even though some others are close and will fit/work. Check your papers for cars that are being parted out, etc. They're out there!
