Wondering what would be better over stock since some of these might be more readily available in a junk yard over a not yet stripped fox.<br /><br /><br />Just trying to inform myself for when im ready to need parts for a v8 swap in my fox. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>ls1kid</b> <br /><small>Member # 10751</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2012,6,26,2,45,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Actually the turbo coupe rear ends are 8.8 .

If you are looking to upgrade to disc/5 lug, get the rear off of a Mark VII LSC (Big disc brakes, and 3.27 True Trac). Mark VIIIs are good for the entire rear IRS (need aftermarket axles), the fans are very useful (3200CFM), and above all Mark VIII complete engines and harnesses and best bang for your modular buck. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Duncan Motors</b> <br /><small>Member # 7045</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2012,6,28,17,46,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> the 87 to 88 tubro coupes, have either a 355 or 373 8.8 rear end 4 lug rear end, there just the same length same as a93 cobra, a tad wider. ive never ran a problem with the width. but never went past a 17 by 9 wheel. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Duncan Motors</b> <br /><small>Member # 7045</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2012,6,28,17,47,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> mark 8 had a front 5 lug rotor hub that was used on foxs, but have a big inner bearing cap that screws with the center caps on wheels. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Blind</b> <br /><small>Member # 3052</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2012,6,28,18,11,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by Duncan Motors:<br /><strong> mark 8 had a front 5 lug rotor hub that was used on foxs, but have a big inner bearing cap that screws with the center caps on wheels. </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">mark7 you mean, the mark8 has a totally different bolt pattern than mustang wheels. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>93lx4cyl</b> <br /><small>Member # 10517</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2012,6,28,22,1,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Thanks for the info guys ill look into it! <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
