If I were to get a 8.8 rear off a 98 gt with 60k miles and I wanted to put in on my 98 v6 cause I don't want to fix the rear wheel bearings that are starting to go would it basically be drop off the 7.5 and mount up the 8.8. Are all the mounting points the same.

Cause I found a place that I can get the rear for $550 off a gt with a blown engine then I will have a t-lok, higher gears and newer wheel bearings for $550

is this a good idea or not

 

It should bolt right up.

 

As long as it's from the same generation, then yes. Otherwise, you start to deal w/ axle length problems.

 

basic bolt up

 

I just found a place that has one out of a 97 gt with 88k on it in good condition for $400 with free shipping!

it has 3.27s in it and I have 2.73 or whatever the stock gearing is can anyone tell me if I will need to change my speedo gear either way I think I am jumping on this one today


Edit went to stted.com and found the speedo gear I need I'm sending the place an email now

 

yeah, need the speedo gear. are u gonna get a tuner too?

 

eventually but not right away I have a 98 so to recalibrate the speedo all I have to do is chane out the gear

 

ya just change the spedo gear and your good
