5.8FoxBody

ok i have a 93 mustang 4 cylinder but i did a motor swap so its a 5.8 now but i need help with the rear end, i want to put a mini spool in but can't find one for a 7.5" will the 28 spline 8.8" mini spool fit in the 7.5"?

thats 7.5 is not a good idea w. your new motor... go junkyard a 8.8 or ford 9inch....

i will in the future but i need to run this POS rear end until i get some money or blow it up, whatever comes first, thats why i only want to just run a mini spool, its either that or i'm going to weld the spyder gears together

Spyder gears are fine, but only up to a certain amount of hp/torq buddy did that and was pushing 300hp and snaped it withen a week.

sounds to me like youre gonna break it any way you go unless you put an 8.8 in it. no offense but you do really need it and wouldnt hurt to have a beefed up 8.8 like 31 spline axles and a locker, but a least go to the junkyard and get ya a good used 8.8. as for youre original question bout the spool for the 8.8 in a 7.5 i dont think itll work. may have some leads on a used 8.8 if youre interested let me know

LOL...351w and a 7.5"??

Youre askin for trouble with a 7.5 and a 351. Save yourself the grief, time, and labor of having to pull the busted 7.5 out for the 8.8. Our stuff tends to break at the worst possible time.

I agree. that thing was barely made for the 4cyl. Your asking for trouble. Breaking a rear end at 60 or 70 mph can have a pretty bad affect on you. Dont sacrifice your life for a cheap way out.

well right now i need to take the 351 out and get it balanced, its actually a 393 stroker, but i have a stock 5.0 i'm going to use in the meantime, i will get the rear end soon just wanted to know if a mini spool would fit, i have all these chevy friends and they use 7.5's so i didnt know if there was really a big difference

ask u chevy friendswhat their chevy friends w. high hp run..... most of them opt for the ford 9 inch
