Default What rear end is it?

So this is probably a dumb ? and an easy one to answer but what rear end do the foxs run. Ive looked at the tag on the housing but its all rusted up.

On a 90 mustang GT it's an 8.8" rear end with either a 2.73 or 3.08 gear, depending on if its auto or manual.

+1 Its a 8.8" rear end.. I believeit was theearlier80 years that had the 7.5" rear but you have the 8.8"

Go here and enter all your info..Its on your drivers door tag.. AX would be your gear ratio..

79-85 5.0s were 7.5
86-95 5.0s were 8.8
96-current 4.6s are 8.8
79-86 and 94-current 3.8s are 7.5
79-93 2.3 are 7.5

not sure if the SVO was 8.8 or not
