Do I need an 8.8 off of a '94-'95...or will one from '94-'98 work just fine. Also, do any of you know where I can find one in VA? I'm having a lot of trouble finding one used. Thanks. __________________ MWWarlord 1995 Mustang convertible check out my garage for pics and a complete list of mods. http://www.tricktuners.com

The only notable modification you'd need to make to a Foxbody 8.8 would be swapping your current axles into it in place of the Fox's 4-lug axles. Shouldn't be too hard to find one. If you want to drive to FL, I've got an extra w/ 3.55 gears you can have for $150 __________________ 1993 2.3L Coupe [Motortopia] : Open-Track Project... 214k miles 2000 V6 (Black,5-speed) [Motortopia] : Heads/Cam (EXHAUST CLIP) 2001 Harley Davidson F-150 Acts 16:31

If I was closer and drove a '98-, I would take you up on that. (definitly a good deal)
