Complete S197 8.8" Rear March 19, 2010, 06:35:50 PM Time for me to upgrade.Up for sale is a COMPLETE S 197 8.8" rear end from a 2005 Mustang GT. It will be coming out of the car on or about April 3rd and currently has 10,703 miles on it. The rear has 3.31 gears, trac-lok, and 31 spline axles. No clunks, noises, or issues of any kind; it is in [size=150]PERFECT[/size][/b] working order. This is a perfect upgrade for the V6 cars and a cheap alternative for a boned rear for V8 guys.....I'm located in Farmingdale, NY;but the rear will be at a business location in East Islip, NY. I'd prefer you picked it up, but drop off CAN be arranged. If it's rather far that MAY cost extra.[size=150]Price -- $450.[/size]PM me for more details and transaction arrangements. Quote Selected

FWIW -- the center section is in fact offset on the S197's...According to this post -- http://mmb.maverick.to/showpost.php?p=373065&postcount=5 axle to axle is 65.5"I know the housing is wider than the 94-98's, but Im not sure if it is the same width as the 99-04's or if even wider still. Hell, not even THIS shows the width..... Quote Selected
