I bought a 5 lug set up from a guy on craigslist, he said everything was from an 86 SVO mustang, but I have found out that the svo's had rear disc, the rear end I bought is rear drum, the front spindles should work but im not sure about the rear end, I also read that the svo's were a 7.5" rear end not an 8.8, so can I even use the one I bought? I only payed $75 for everything so if it doesnt work out its not that big of a deal, I just need to know what I have so I can get the right parts when I go to get new gears, control arms, and brakes.

Thanks for any help

Yes, all SVO's were 4 wheel disc. I think the 86 SVO had an 8.8. Does it still have a tag on a cover bolt?

no, unfortunately the tag on the rear end is gone. I think its going to be next to impossible to figure out what it came out of

Ok here are some picks of the rear end, in some of them the rearend is upside down, Im currently one handed due to shoulder surgery, my neighbor saw me strugling and helped me turn it over. If you need a specific angle or picture let me know.

its an 8.8 and i almost wanna say either a regular fox with a 5 lug swap or a T Bird turbo coupe? or were those 4 lug?

I hope you are right, I have no idea what to tell the parts guy when I order new rear breaks. I guess Ill order brakes for a stock fox rearend and see if it matches whats on there. Thanks guys
