Default Where to find a 8.8

I am trying my best to finish up a GT conversion. I need a driveshaft and rearend. I figured I would just get a aluminum one made instead of trying to find a driveshaft. That still leads me to the problem of getting the rearend so does anyone have the hookup

Junk Yard for 8.8. They are a dime a dozen. then you can replace gears and axles to whatever you need

OP, I rarely come across mustang 8.8s anymore online, honestly I've seen a few on CL and maybe one or two so far on Ebay but they usually have like 4.30 gears or something ridiculous lol.

I know you can buy them brand new from quite a few sites, but you'll be paying north of $1K.

Not sure if you're looking for a new one, but American Muscle sells one fully assembled.

Just have to look around, if you want a new one you can pay $1400 at AM.

New take off does get them from time-to-time. Their inventory changes almost daily sometimes...

Just keep looking or to to a junkyard to find a good one.
