Ones in yards are either high mile or cover off pieces missing. Ford put 8.8's on a bunch of cars, but I don't trust anything but a mustang axle to bolt right in.One good 8.8 donor that was not too far away had a 3.27 ratio.I've finally figured out that the gear size I need is a 3.45 ratio, so it's looking like a rebuild is in the plan instead of swap.Makoto said"I only suggest this because it seems to be about the same effort as throwing another old 7.5" back there with the added benefit of actually being able to find parts for it."  (emphasis mine)I am hearing this about parts more and more and even my nearest Ford dealership lists a LOT of parts as 'obsolete'.</blockquote>
