RE: what rear end will bolt into a 86 stang?

they will all fit...
some will be wider
truck axles will need fab work for control arm mounts..
etc..

truck axles use leaf springs, there are no control arm mounts. you will need to measure a mustang 8.8, cut and weld your mounts on.

make all the necessary adjustments for differences in total axle widths.
