Do the newer V6s have an 8.8 rear end? I'm just wondering if somebody could use the rear disc brakes and 5 lug rotors from a V6 if you wanted to do that conversion in a fox.

They are not 8.8 in the V6's, I believe that they are 7.5.

But, they use the same axles and brakes as an 8.8. You just can't use the gears, carrier or housing. Everything else is compatible, though.
