Should i go for a Complete 5 lug 8.8 3.27 Locking Rear or hold out and try and get a late'ish model V8 Mustang setup?
Heres some stuff from Eric's site you can read up on:

Which would you go for? And why?
Well again this is a question that only you can say yes or no too.
You need to know your plans that you have for a finshed car.
5 lug is better but both rearends are 8.8s and both can be built up with better axles, posi, spool, gears and so on.
3.27 will be a good gear for tooling around but if you plan to drag the car alot 3.73 3.90 or 4.10 would be better.
But i vote for the 5 lug :)
Well i've got a good idea of what i want to do and parts will be improved as plans move ahead.
But as a one-shot, grab n' go complete setup pull from either a mustang parts car or mark vII parts car, which would you go for as a starting point?
imo grab the setup off the mustang if its a 94-98.get on a mustang website get some gears like some 3.90s or 4.10s just my 2 cent though.
