Hello everyone i have a question....right now i have a 7.5 rear end from my four cylinder and i am going to swap in a 5.0. MYquestion is that i have a chance to get a free 9" ford posi rear end with gears in it for free, what would i have to do to ake it fit in the stang? Would i be better off getting a 8.8 since its a mostly stock 5.0 or what? thanks

youll have to make sure the width is the same, you dont want your tires sticking out. and you will need new rims , should be 5 lug. but hell its free take it home.id go for a 4 link or ladder bar rear with coil overs, mini tub with some fat rubber.youll be ready for any engine then

dont bother getting a 9 inch.... your not making NEARLY enough power to justify having one

find an 8.8 somewhere... since it will literally just BOLT IN

but its free, overkill is better then breaking shiat.

i'd rather spend $150-$200 to bolt in a used 8.8 than a similar amount of money to fabricate mounts on a 9" its more money than he needs to spend, and you are misleading him

get the 9inch and sell it to pay for a tbird turbo coupe rear with either 3.55s or 3.73 and disc brakes

turbosha

not if he plans on more hp in the future. sure if moneys tight go with whats easier and cheaper. im just saying dont pass up a free 9"posi with gears.

and thats why we dont listen to you

hed need alot of power to justify modding the 9" for the fox not to mention it might be a truck axle have the wrong flange for the d/s be to wide etc
