I'm saying it is hard as shit to find a used one in good condition. Then of course there is the issue of transporting the damn 250LB beast. I'm going through this right now. BTW...does anyone have a 99-04 8.8 they don't need? __________________ MWWarlord 1995 Mustang convertible check out my garage for pics and a complete list of mods. http://www.tricktuners.com

on a pallet for shipping that is what has been consistently quoted to me as the weight. Of course I haven't lifted one myself...otherwise I would already have one.

That's total BS. the 8.8 rear can handle over 300 RWHP.

MWWarlord Hardcore Enthusiast 1995 Mustang convertible Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: Richmond, VA Posts: 1,412	oh ok...I see now. The reason is that next year I'm getting a 4.2L stroker from CRT. Then after that I'll be getting a TT setup running around 15-18psi. Those two things alone will put me WAY OVER the tolerance of the 7.5. Does that answer your question shadow? __________________ MWWarlord 1995 Mustang convertible check out my garage for pics and a complete list of mods. http://www.tricktuners.com

yeah that makes sense... its good to get the safety parts now to prepare for future mods but if you dont plan on going over 250 rwhp (give or take) then buying a 8.8 is a waste of money imo

But that would not be looking to the future very well in my case. __________________ MWWarlord 1995 Mustang convertible check out my garage for pics and a complete list of mods. http://www.tricktuners.com

t-lok + 3.73s will get both my wheels spinning fine and for MUCH less than an 8.8

thats just cause of the tlok, so putting a tlock in a 7.5 does the same thing (spinning both tires that is)

dgt_mustang Enthusiast 01 mustang Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: goose creek Posts: 932	were just looking for an 8.8 because the junkyard i got downhere sells all of the rear ends for 100% so why get a stock option when you can get an upgrade for the same price. but either way we didnt find one. all we need is the spyder gears inside of it, so is there anything i could be looking for to just get the spyder gears? i dont care about the traction lock or anything like that, just looking for spyder gears and whatever has them that i could pull them out of. any ideas? __________________ LEAVE REP POINTS WHERE NEEDED!!! 2001 mustang V6 CAI,Tuner,Cobra Rims To come: UDP, T-lok, 3.73, full exhaust setup W/flowmaster 40s, aluminum driveshaft.
