one thing, if ur car is not heavily modded and ur not dropping a bb in it dont get a 9 inch, they are great rears, but they are not needed for a mild to stock 5.0

but yea the 8.8 is the way to go.

I have an 8.8 that im going to be pulling in the next few days... its has a 3.73 Motive Gear Performance Ring & Pinion posi & stock axles. the best I ran with this 8.8 is 11.89. It will work for you perfectly. Im located in Chicago, IL & I can truck freight it out to you if your interested, $350.00 & its yours

No offense to any one on this page but if i were you id buy a new rear. You never know when your getting one from a non-driving some body if you know what i mean.

i have an 89 notch with 7.5 rear, 302. i also need a rear end and they are pretty salty if i were to buy new. how strong is that 7.5 compared to the 8.8 and how does that effect the hp?
