Turbo coupe rears came with 3.73 gears in auto cars and 3.55's in stick cars. Take out the axles and 4 lug brakes, put on the SVO brakes and axles and viola, cheap 8.8" rear with discs. I bought my turbo rear from a wrecking yard minus axles and brakes for $80, little did they know, as I did, that it had a 3.73 posi. Just a little note to those trying do do what I did.
