A quick ? about LX Stang

What rear would an 86 4 cly LX have? 7.5, 8.8? also trac-loc or limited slip? I know ware there is one very cheap and might buy it.

Most likely a 7.5 they didn't put the 8.8 in the 4 bangers.

See, what I thougth was they all got the 8.8 after 1985? but the guts were different. The V8 got trac-loc and the V6-I4 got an open? This is from the guy that told me it had a V4 in it so Thats why I'm asking

All of the 4 banger stangs are 7.5, even the SVO. The 5.0 cars got the 8.8.
It's Gumby's fault.

More than likely a 3.73 gear rear.
One 88

Depending on the transmission- if it's from an auto car it's a 3.73 open rear...if it's from a stick car it's a 3.45 open rear. No trak-loks in the 2.3 NA mustangs.

All I know it the guy said it was an auto. For all the stuff I need for the Fila ( Int, Radio stuffs, some Suspention stuff) is it worth the $200 for the car?

4.10's didn't come in anything besides rangers.

As for whether it's worth $200...well, how much can you REALLY use off the car? I'm fairly certain almost no Mustang interior parts will work in a Thunderbird except for the seats.

I was thinking I want the seats, Instrment panel looks close, flor shift suto looks close to ours, the Radio, the rear end / suspention stuff like if they fit. After that I don't know. Hell I might make it a DD while I fix the Fila. Can't beat having the look of a stang while having 4 cyl gass millage

My Dads TRX edition Mustang had 4:10 with a close ratio 4 speed. Special order. You could see on the build tag where they had manualy stamped the numbers into it.

Well, what all off a stang will work. The seats, some if not most of the suspention. Is there anything else?
