my bad i had all the posts confused, i had it right the first time. i didnt see that he was asking what rear end he had, i thought he was just asking if his rear end would hold up to the 5.0 then your post confused me, i thought you were saying they had a 7.5. so ya anyway i was confused

i would put gears in it.

gears are a great mod.
if you are using the 7.5 rear end I would also suggest getting a traction lock installed at the same time.

no, the 7.5 and 8.8 need different gears, you need gears for the 7.5

no u need gears for a 7.5
also if u r puting the 5.0 in a good t-lock would help to beef up ur rear end to handle the more power.

do you have a donor car to get all the parts from? otherwise might as well sell your car and buy a 5.0, i would be cheaper then buying everything to swap it over
