Will a 94-98 8.8 work in a 99-04?

Tcohoe · January 14th, 2012, 06:05 PM

Will it work? I know that it is a bit shorter, just wondering if i could buy/make some wheel spacers.

it will work fine. it will be a tab bit narrower but it will work. Everything bolts right up, the control arms, shocks, brakes and rotors will go right on.

wont he need spacers? didnt southfour go through this? probably put it in his build thread

you will need spacers and to drill some holes larger as the LCA bolts are a few milimters smaller in diamter on the sn95

I have 2 8.8 rear ends. Both out of a 98 gt. Come to washington and buy one =]

It should be fine, like everyone said the older axles are a narrower. 7.5's and 8.8's (28 spline) use the same axleshafts, if you wanted to do a little extra work you could swap the newer shafts into the narrow axle instead of using wheel spacers. Just a thought.

What are the main advantages of getting an 8.8 from a 94-98 GT for the V6 New Edge?

Tcohoe · January 16th, 2012, 08:00 PM

Mainly where i live, only ones i can find are 94-98 or if i do come to find a 99-04 people think there made outta gold.

you could run a wider tire without rubbing on things

mainly dis advantages for the guy just looking to replace the 7.5

cost me the cost of the spacers more than if i had a 99-04 rear end which really pissed me off beause i pulled my rear from a 2002 gt so someone must have swapped it
