I'm still looking for a rearend. I've found several for pretty good prices, but none close enouph to me. I don't want to have to pay shipping.
No. not even close. Completely different rear suspension, coils instead of leafs. I believe it's also much wider too. Probably more work involved than the Explorer rear. Also won't have the 31 splined axles either. That's why the Explorer rear is such a good deal, you get 31 spl. axles, posi traction and sometimes disc brakes to boot.65mistress said:Would an 8.8 out of a 94-95 GT mustang bolt in?

I was positive that I saw somewhere on the internet that they fit. Have you ever measured one? I'm inclined to trust you over 99.9% of internet posters, but I see you said "I believe".D.Hearne said:No. not even close. Completely different rear suspension, coils instead of leafs.

I saw the actual axle to axle width somewhere, but can't find it at this time. What I do have to go by now is the Mustang Redbook, that list's the track widths for all the Stangs from 65-2000. The 65-66 car's track width in the rear is 56 inches, the 79-93's are 57", the 94-95's are 59", the 99-2000's are 60", almost as wide as the 71-73's. I'm don't know the exact axle to axle dimension for the 79-98's but it's close to 58-59", about right for a 67-70 car, but too wide for a 65-66, unless late model offset wheels are used.Hack said:I was positive that I saw somewhere on the internet that they fit.

As far as brackets and perches go, IMO that's something a guy could fabricate. I would be pretty shy about trying to narrow a housing, though.
