Ok,

Thanks for the input. Now, would either the Mustang GT or Explorer rear end have come with T-Lok?

 

Mustang GT axle would have, Explorer can be either way. Explorer pinion is offset to one side, and has leaf spring vs. coil spring mounts ... unless you're good with a welder, don't be trying to make one of those fit your car.

Thanks Ed,

So just to be clear, in theory, if I got the 3.73 from the Explorer, and a 99-04 GT rear end it would just be a matter of swapping the ring and pinion set...

 

Yup, no problem to swap the r&p out of the Explorer 8.8 to get the ratio you want for the Mustang assembly.

Thanks Ed,

I made an offer on the Explorer rear end..don't know if I'll get it or not though...

 

here's hoping and good luck

 

Well,

The guy turned down my offer...so I told him if he changes his mind to let me know...

 

That sucks!! Especially when you think the of best of the situation.

 

Well, 3.73 gears are pretty common out there for sale. Keep an eye out for a good used set. That way you're not having to diassemble a complete axle to rob the gear set out of it.
