Thanks for the info guys!

Just for some backround ,I'm restoring my 65 Mustang.My engine,by initial guestimations will have roughly 400Hp. I have shopped around for a 9" (e-bay too) It's either hard to find or outrageously pricey. I think going with the 8",is what I will have to do. The car has a 3-speed,which I decided to keep until it dies.

So,what do you all think?


Also,does anyone know the bolt pattern of a 8.8" rearend?

Is it the same as an 8"?
