just as I thought, this doesnt really have anything to do with a 5.0 mustang and it seems like it will be really not worth it....what year corolla is it, that its RWD or all of them RWD

RE: 2002 8.8 Rear convert to 4 lug
Actually, only the engine came out ot the white AE86 pictured above. That model started in 1985 as the first gen AE86. I actually have the older line of the Corolla and mine is a station wagon from 1983 and it is RWD with leaf springs. In any case, it's nothing that I would use to talk down to other people with, cause that's just not what I do. Everyone has their own tastes and desires, and I respect that. All I ask for in return is the same respect. I feel that it may be easier for an 8 cylinder to get down to 11's and 12's, and it will be that much more difficult doing it with 4. This is my chosen path. At the track in Wisconsin during the Import Wars there were a few mid 9 sec cars that didn't even have pistons! They are the Rotary engines that run with 2 rotors and engine displacement of 1.3 liters! Now that's an accomplishment!
In any case, to each his own, much respect with your set up, whichever road you chose to follow-or lead. Good Luck to all.

I do respect all cars imports or not, if its fast than it deserves it, I myself always like rx-7's and I know exactly what you are talking about them running mid 9's, I was very much into imports for a while but the cost of making them go faster was to much for me. I have alot of friends that are into imports, So i hope you understand that I wasn't trying to disrespect you or anything, its just I believe you are in the wrong section. I believe you would have a better chance of getting the answer you seek on perhaps a different forum. I do think that is is possible for you to do what you ask but its going to be really hard for anyone on this forum to answer being, that most don't drive a corolla and if they do its more than likely not modified. Just out of curiousity what are your 1/4 times and do you have pictures of your car..and I wish you luck

Actually, my post is in the correct forum. I only asked if the "Ford" parts can work with the other "Ford" parts. It really doesn't matter what car it will go in. If everyone would just focus on the question at hand and not why are you doing this BS, then maybe we can get somewhere. I'm not burning you bro, it's just that alot of people are just not giving an answer, just stating opinion as to why not because of 4 lug vs 5 lug reasons. I'm not concerned with all that. I just want to know if I get this diff, I know I will have to cut it down to fit, get and cut 4 lug axles, but will I be able to buy a T-Bird disc or other 4 lug disc (everyone notice how I again did not say T-Bird diff) to pop it on the 2002 diff, will it work? That is all my question is asking.
Now about my car, my first mod was the transplant from 4AC (carburated SOHC 8 valve) to 4AGE (EFI Twincam 16 valve) and getting it to run. That portion is done, so currently it is stock and I haven't taken it to the track in this form. I have a T3 turbo and Hi Volume fuel pump and piggy back that I will set up during the winter. By the time spring comes and this is all installed, I will need a reliable LSD since I currently have a stock 1 sider. So, that is what I am working now and I have located the 2002 with disc brakes and I am trying to find out if this is do-able.

if u find the tbird stuff it will work but by the time u purchase the part i was pointing out just to pirate the whole rear and be done with it a 2002 axle will sell for around 200$ maybe a little more if u have the disc and caliper etc! if u already bought sell it and find the turbo coupe rear the easiest and most efficient route available
