will this rear end fit my car

[mylittleponie]

ive got a buddy that has a older turbo t bird coupe that has the factory 3.73 gears in a 8.8 i was wondering if it would bolt up under my 96 gt i know ill have to swap axles.. But he would sell it to me for dirt cheap and has low miles on this wrecked car... Im thinking it would but let me know what you guys thank..

well its like a 86 or 88 not sure i know its just like the foxes and has 4 lug and drums but i know i took a quick look and the way it mounts up is the same as mine..

79-98 rear ends are ALL THE SAME, the difference comes into play with brakes and axles. The housings and mounting points are all the same.

Agreed you would be better off just swapping in 3.73's the time it's going to take you your going to wish you had just bought gears and new clutch packs and had them installed. Yeah its going to cost more money but it would be worth it for the time factor.
