8.8" rear comes with t lok and if it is from the same year mustang, will bolt right up. they come factory with 3.27s in the gt, and they come with 3.55s in the mach 1.

Why not buy a brand new one? if you get one from a junkyard you have to make sure nothing is wrong with it and you might need bearings with it. where if you get a new one which is about $189 you wont need bearings
