first of i have a 68 mustang with 5.0 engine and t5 tranny with front disc brakes. the car was originally an I6 which means the rear i have is not good and has to go.. i was pretty much set to go the explorer route which is an 8.8 rear but has disc brakes and gears arent bad but i found the other option and im stuck on what to do. im on a budget and have no welding experience im a rookie.. forgive me i know..

i found a 96 explorer that has an 8.8 rear with 3.55 that has disc brakes and is going for 300. i would have to have some welding done to be able to bolt on my car.

or

i recently found a 9inch with 28 spline not limited slip with a 3.0 gears i think its like 60" drum face to drum face. it was 150. online i found a disc brake kit that was from an explorer that was going for 169. disc bake kit fits 9inch.

should i go for it?

dont know where the diff came from and it sounds too good to be true. so im a little skeptical..
whats ur opinion??
