95-96 rear end question

Mustang_GTX · November 2nd, 2009, 01:21 AM

i have a 2002 GT but i bought a rear end out of a supposedly 95-96 cobra. it has the 3.27 gears and is shorter than my old one.. now my question is that does this rear end contain the forged internals, bc i went to the track today and someone said that i might have the reinforced axles or something in my rear, or Ford might have stopped earlier than 95. if anybody knows about this or even what im talkin about can ya help me? lol

did u run the vin number off ur car and the different rear end to make sure they were compliable?

Mustang_GTX · November 2nd, 2009, 05:46 PM

nope... i didnt care bc i was in despirate need of a rearend... and the rearend doesnt have the vin tags on it anyway.. is there a vin number somewhere else on it? and why wouldnt it be compatable? and that still didnt answer my question

Mustang_GTX · November 2nd, 2009, 06:02 PM

are you pushing enough power to even have to worry about this???? any stock 8.8's can handle quite the beatin

Mustang_GTX · November 6th, 2009, 03:07 AM
