My '88 Sport Reply #3 – January 05, 2014, 01:37:38 PM Nice Bird. Mine is a Sport as well. You're in the right place for doing mods, keeping it stock, or going in whatever direction you have in your mind for the old Bird. Welcome to the forum. Enjoy. Quote Selected

My '88 Sport Reply #6 – February 17, 2014, 01:20:58 PM Just figured I'd give a little update on my build.A while back my 7.5" trac-lok diff became tired of my driving habits...And it decided to take the easy way out of the punishment...So I had to pull the carrier out and swap it with an open rear from a Ranger.But when the rear failed it took a couple of nice big chips out of the pinion gear so it makes plenty of not-so-happy noisesSo after that, the hunt for an 8.8 began. While I was searching a friend came forward and gave me an Eibach Sportline kit which I of course immediately put on the car to glorious results...I looked everywhere for a Mark 7 rear end and none showed up, and just when I was about to give up hope...I stumbled across this bad boy from a '92 MustangIts a locker with 3.27 gears, which is the ratio I wanted.So this week I'll be doing some refurbish work to it and swapping the 10" brakes off of my carIt is 4-lug but seeing as I've got 3 sets of 4 lug wheels this seemed like the more reasonable course of action.

My '88 Sport Reply #9 – February 17, 2014, 02:05:28 PM The Mustang rear will decrease your track width by a couple inches, give or take.But, since you have an 8.8 rear, AND the Sport 10" backing plates, THIS thread might just be of interest to you. Quote Selected
My '88 Sport Reply #12 – February 17, 2014, 08:55:42 PM I am aware of the skinnier wheel track, but I have a hook up on some bolt on spacers to remedy that issue. Quote Selected
My '88 Sport Reply #13 – February 17, 2014, 10:00:32 PM How did you break the 7.5" rear? I'm still running a 7.5" and I've run the car at the track with the mods in my signature. It's still in once piece (knock on wood). Quote Selected
My '88 Sport Reply #14 – February 17, 2014, 11:32:27 PM The drive pin retaining bolt failed and it just went downhill from there... HahaI blame my inherent desire to get sideways around every turn. Quote Selected
