Anybody know what some visual differences are with a 8.8 rear end and a stock rear off a 2.3L. Im lookin at buying the rear off of a guys 2.3 he's claiming its an 8.8 and doesn't know what gears are in it (theres no tag) Hes not askin much or i wouldn't bother. I just need to know how to tell if it is an 8.8
thanks,

2.3's never came with 8.8's, but the 7.5 looks more like an oval with flat top and bottom. (_) -ish as opposed to a more round shape (couldn't get the top on that one..)

thanks for the responce, im aware they didn't come stock with an 8.8, was changed somewhere along the line, i would asume it would still bolt up to everything.

Im in the middle of doin a swap not sure what i'll be runnin at the track.
