Default rear end question

I looked around a bit but couldn't really find anything, probably cause this is a stupid question.

Alright, i bent an axle after getting attacked by a curb while it was raining the other day, and i can buy a whole 8.8 rear with 3.55 gears for $100 and was just making sure the 3.55 gears and axles out of the non-posi 8.8 rear will fit in my posi 8.8? will they work?

Thanks,
Adam

They should as long as they are the same spline. Also, make sure the axles are the same lenth.

P.S.

What cam from crower do you have? Where did you get it and how much was it?

it says it's for a 79-93 mustang so im guessing that's what it's out of..

the cam came with the car. he didn't know the exact specs but he gave me some rough estimates of the specs and i believe it's this cam from what he told me: http://store.summitracing.com/partde...p;autoview=sku
