I picked up a 93 Notchback mustang its a 4 banger so its going to get a complete over haul, the car is very clean no rust only a small damage to the driver side door and quarter panel. It should be a fun project hope to get a 10sec pass with it, it should be easy with this weight!

Pictures!

General_Joser

SoCal as well, are you planning on going to Invasion memorial day weekend?

Since i have the camaro and mustang i would like to swap wheels from one to the other, the rear end i want to get for the mustang will be the 8.8 and will order some Moser axle tubes with the GM bolt pattern 5x4 3/4"... I am trying to see which carrier to go with i would like the trac lok... what carrier are you 8.8 guys using?

Have you weighed it yet? My last coupe was 2860 with everything stock other than the hood and wheels (skinnys out front,15x8 in the rear).

General_Joser

I haven't, that's a good idea tho I will do that thanks!

I picked up a 8.8 rear end today i will order some axles for it and gears and also a cover, i want to get some disc brakes for it also

just remember what length axles you will need. stock 79-93 length is a little harder for back discs but can be done while 94 and up are real easy to do discs but at an expense of 3/4" longer axles per side. (5 lug)

General_Joser

are the 94 and up the same length as the 93 and down?

iTrader: (10)

no they are 3/4" longer.

Bowtiedford

iTrader: (9)

yep housings are identical, its axle length.

General_Joser

yea if anything i wish i could shorten this one a bit im just going to leave it like how it is and mini tub it to lower the back and fit a nice size tire

8" rim use 5.5 and a 10 rim use 6.5 backspacing for it to be tucked.

General_Joser

Good to know! thanks man
