alright guys i'll admit it im not a ford guy but i did buy a 89 stang a few months back and it has the 2.3 in it and im putting a 351 in 'er. i was just wondering what the difference between a 7.5 and a 8.8 was physically so i can pull one? is it only the guts or the housing too?
thanx

 

the whole shebang... but the good news is that its a bolt-in replacement

 

Word!

 

and I hope your going carb as well.

 

i second that.

im doin the same thing you are, and its also in an 89. BUT, mine was a V8 before, so i cant help you with the rear end thing. if you need any help with the 351 swap, give me a pm

 

408!!!!!!!!!

 

thanks guys i am goin the carb route its alot easier. whats the 8.8 look like? and what are the found in so i dont have to do any norrowing?
p.s. mkspeed that looks like a pretty tyte ride

 

head to your local junk yard.....you can even use a t-bird rear......as for the 7.5 I have seen 350hp 4 banger grabbing gears at 5500 no problems

 

7.5 rear end breaks under racing loads and the 8.8 dont. should have no problem it is a common task.

 

you now own a Ford everything is inner changable. Almost everything with in reason.
