I don't think you were directing that to me, although if you were, I have around $28 dollars right now.
You seem like you know a lot about the rear ends, so will the 4 cyl axle shaft be ok on the 8.8?
Just trying to confirm everything before I work my booty off doing this tomorrow

I heard that the axle shafts on the 4 cyl and 8cyl foxes were the same, regardless of what size rears they have. Is this not correct?

the axle shafts were the same between the 7.5" 4 cylinder rear, and 8.8 rear. the came from the same pile at ford, neither one is stronger than the other. this is the only real part that interchanges between the 2 rear ends however. the 5 lug short side ranger and minivan axles are also the same as the mustang parts, just drilled for 5 hole.
