quick gear question
ok so i was at my salvage yard looking for some gears for my 8.8 rear end and all of the ones i found that had came out of mustangs seemed like the pinion on it was bigger in circumference around the teeth and all but they were still the same length and the ring was the same size along with the same 10 bolt pattern but the splines on the pinion shaft was a little shorted than the ones on my 4:10s i was just wondering if these will still work and is this stuff different because of them being different brands or what

I have seen many pinion gears with the outer end of the gear teeth relieved a bit, this is a non-active part of the pinion's teeth so it make no difference.
As to the pinion shaft spline differences, is the shaft shorter, or just the splined portion? In either case it would depend on how much shorter, however I am not aware of any differences other than slight variations because of production batches, etc.

This is a pick for a 9" rear, but same concept.
4.10s:
vs. factory 3.27s
