i have an 89 5.0, and i have a rear end that is from a ranger/ explorer that is an 8.8 with 3.73ls, will this rear end fit? is there any width differences than a stock gt rear? it has 2.73 in it right now, will my gas mileage suffer alot, and also what will my top speed be? what size are the speakers in the 89 mustangs?

I think the axles are different sizes, I'm not sure you could do that with either.

the rear its self wont fit but the ring and pin gear will might. this is why.

To keep the stock rear wheel offset and drums, the '83-'92 Ranger/Bronco II Left (driver) side axle (29-5/32") from a 4cyl or 3.0L V-6 with the 7.5" rear end, or '86-'97 Aerostar RIGHT side axles (29-5/32") is what you want. They are the same rear axles, the center section is just on the opposite side when you compare the rear ends. The pumpkins are also off center unlike the Mustangs, so you will have to find two vehicles to pull axles from! You will need the drums from either of these vehicles also if you are staying with rear 9" drums. The 7.5 axle Rangers & Aerostars use 9" drums. These parts are direct 5 lug replacements for the stock 9" rear drums on the 79-93 Mustangs. here is the link i got the info from
