99-04 8.8 axle assembly

03SVTCOBRA · 08-31-2011, 04:09 PM

Called up LKQ, blue and gold, and parks with no luck. Anyone happen to see at 99-04 at a junkyard close by? Or know of someone with a parts car those years? Can just be the housing and tubes, its all getting gutted out anyways.

I have a complete 8.8 out of a 88 Thunderbird TurboCoupe , disk brakes. I'll take $100 for it.

Supposably almost all of them will bolt up, but then i hear some are slightly shorter/longer than others. Im trying to save myself some headache and just pick up a 99-04 which i know will be a direct fit without me having to hack anything up.

I know theres some other junkyards around, anyone have a decent list? i can look the numbers up if i know the names.

Find you a local Mach 1 board or a road race board. They love to do some trading for the IRS.

Yea, a Fox body 8.8 will be about 11/16 of an inch shorter on each side than an SN95 8.8 rear end, but some people fix that issue with wheel spacers. I have one but it is out of a Fox body. I converted jeff's gray Cobra from IRS to 8.8, but it was out of a crashed 03 Mach 1. I used the Mach 1 ABS sensors and all, worked out good..

You would be suprised how much people will pay for one... in fact ive already been offered about double what its costing me to build the 8.8 i want.

BigdaddyDupree · 09-01-2011, 05:09 PM

Slowleen has went from solid to irs and back. Said solid is the bees knees but he's also a douche.

Slowleen · 09-01-2011, 05:19 PM

take it lol...aside from SLIGHTLY more comfortable....fords irs is lackluster ford road racing...maximum motorsports has a killer bushing kit for one which they said still wasnt as fast around a tracks as a 3 link solid rear end all things equal.
