Rear end swap

00RoushV6 · April 2nd, 2007, 03:53 PM

Ok, so i've been thinking about changing out my stock 7.5 to a 8.8 rear end, with 4:10 and t-lock. What all would be required to do this change over, and were would be the best place to look for cheap, but reliable parts to do this. This wouldn't happen anytime soon, I'm just brain storming. Thanks

Junkyard. Look for a 99-04 GT and pull it right off.

00RoushV6 · April 2nd, 2007, 04:03 PM

Will it simply bolt right on? And what would I need exaclty? the whole back end or what?

singe · April 2nd, 2007, 05:10 PM

Yeah...should bolt right up. Just take the whole axel assembly.

scubasteve041186 · April 2nd, 2007, 05:12 PM

900$ CAN. 8.8 rear end from a 2000 with 80k km on it.. good deal?

02ponypackage · April 2nd, 2007, 05:58 PM

dont need to get a tlok for the 8.8 unless the one in it is bad or missing...

singe · April 2nd, 2007, 07:54 PM

Id just go to a junk yard and get one.

00RoushV6 · April 3rd, 2007, 03:25 PM

is there any other vehicles that I can take it out of, or should I try and stick with the 99-04 gt?

scubasteve041186 · April 3rd, 2007, 04:25 PM

stick with the 99-04 GT the brakes and stuff are all the same so it just swaps over

itschristorres8 · April 3rd, 2007, 08:51 PM

you just need tools, im 99% sure its a bolt on type of mods if you want to call it that....no extras will be needed unless you desire.

get it from a junkyard or a new one online will cost baout $800-900

question....7.5 with 4.10 and 8.8 with 4.10 whats gonna be the diff.???

232stang · April 4th, 2007, 01:23 AM

the 8.8 is stronger and therefore can withstand more power you throw at it.

WLJohnson05 · April 4th, 2007, 01:24 AM

would 7.5 with tlok and 4.10 be able to handle twin turbo?

232stang · April 4th, 2007, 01:39 AM

i couldnt tell you. and a twin turbo doesnt mean anything unless you tell me how much boost and its supporting mods.

WLJohnson05 · April 4th, 2007, 01:53 AM

well stock internals for now so im sayin from 8 to 9 maybe just wondering if its possible to just stick with 7.5 and put on 4.10 and tlok on it instead of finding an 8.8 and would this last or will i end up fuckin the rear up. i kno as far as durability the 8.8 is superior, but i wanna know practically will the 7.5 get the job done and handle everything

232stang · April 4th, 2007, 01:54 AM

probably not. dont quote me though.

WLJohnson05 · April 4th, 2007, 01:56 AM

alright, wheres greenfaleen when ya need em...haha

232stang · April 4th, 2007, 01:57 AM

but why take the chance of breaking it? you spent 500 for gears and t-lok just to break it and upgrade to an 8.8 like you shouldve in the first place... but thats just my $0.02 take it for what its worth.

WLJohnson05 · April 4th, 2007, 02:03 AM

+million

i def. agree and since my gfather has a junkyard that i can prolly snag one from. so i will prolly do that sooner or later, but i was just wondering

Bies08 · April 4th, 2007, 08:29 AM

Can you buy a new rear end with 4.10's already in it???
