Any fitment issues with the 17x10 rear? Thxs!

Hi!

I bought this for my self for a wedding present. Searched ALL over for a coupe (of course) and even a hatch and couldn’t find one at all. This convertible caught my eye and I pulled the trigger. I feel like I over-paid, but whatever. I’m happy.

I ran the vin and it said it was and AOD car. But now it’s a 5 speed so the previous owner swapped it.

What does that mean for my rear end? Is it a 2.73? 8.8? Any help would be appreciated.

It needs paint. Bad.

The photos are attached in order of how I got it and to how it sits today.

The rear end is easy. If the pumpkin cover has a square look to it—it is a 8.8
Google is your friend here. Look it up.
I have totally rebuilt a 1983 Fox Convertable.
