Default Picking up my 5.0 on Monday

As the title says, I'm finally trading my SHO for this '92 Mustang. I was told you should grab a rear wheel and see if there is any play in it to see if the bearing/diff are worn out. What else should I check?

I see they are giving you a hard time on the SHO Forum!! LOL Im glad your selling your SHO, it was the best move i ever made. What will be nice about your new Fox is, it will always start, you can go on a long trip and enjoy the trip, not thinking if your going to make it or not. Plus, parts are all over for your stang!!! Good luck with it bro!!
