85s and 86s v6'shad 8.8s in them, try craigslist.org, or try cjponyparts, They have used fox bods in there lot, get them to ship you one.

no not true 86 was the first year of the 8.8 in a mustang and it came it the 5.0

Thanks for correcting me on that MJR, I guess I got it half right.

I thought the sn axles were longer than fox axles, as far as adders comment goes.

they are.. by 3/4" on each side. But this gives a slightly wider stance in the rear of the car, which some people like.
Its also one of the first steps to doing a 5 lug conversion

Using the Lincoln/SVO 5 lug axle/disc brake set up gives you the 3/4" per side too, it's no big deal. Wheels for the SN95 should fit fine with no problems I've used the 94 16" ponys and the current 17" on my 87 no rear clearance problems at all.

94-98 housings are the same as the fox. If you dont want to use the 5-lug, just swap in your axles and the overall width will be the same. The extra width of the SN95 axles is for the exciter rings for the ABS.
