I have a 2000 v6 5 speed. I know a guy parting out a 94 gt with a locked 8.8 rear with 3.55s, will that be a direct bolt in or pain in the ass? If it fits should i use the brakes and everything off the gt or mine?

Thanks guys.

Sorry to start a new thread boys. :sorry

its probly gonna be a pita... if u could find one out of a 99-04 gt im pretty sure u would be good to go

i think the pre 99 axles are a little shorter that the 99-04 axles. It should still bolt up fine. Im not positive though.

Ya, they are 0.75" shorter on each side I believe (but not 100% sure). I think it bolts up fine (again, not sure), but I wouldn't want a narrower axle on the new edge, its already hard enough to fill up those back wheel wells.

you have to make SOME modifications to make it work
its not hard though

What kind of modifications? The brakes? Would a set of inch and a half wheel spacers even it out nicely?

dont use wheel spacers... ive heard they can shear the bolts... im gonna take mine off once i get a lower profile tire

you wanna give me those spacers since you dont want them and i dont give a rats ass about the bolts on my 7.5 rear

once i get new tires u can have em

if you have low quality spacers then that could be a problom but a good set of spacers wont sear your bolts.

Would i be better off just getting a locker for my 7.5? There only what? 200 bucks. I know the 8.8 is stronger but it would be cheaper and easier to lock my 7.5. I dont really beat on my shyt, and its not like its supercharged... any opinions?

just get a posi for it
