Anyone have an extra 8.8 rear axle assembly they want to get rid of?

March 03, 2005, 08:54:14 PM

Like many other Cougar owners, I am in need of an 8.8 rear axle assembly with 3.73:1 Gears to put in my 88 LS (which is currently stripped to just the body & wheels). Axle shafts are also preferred (5 lug). If anyone has a decent used one, I'm willing to pay top dollar for it.

Thanks

i got one i just took off my car. i switched to 3.55s cauz i like it better with the 5speed :) but im in south jersey. 08090... now i heard greyhound ships but you have to go to a grayhound station to pick up and drop off. so that may be a option if your interested.

Hey Nate how you like the 355's?? I did the same thing this winter.. I haven't noticed any loses in power.... If anything I think the ability of more 1st gear is a good thing...

havent driven it yet bob, infact the rear isnt even in the car, just the old one is out, and stored away. new one goes in after i weld up the torqu boxes and install the adjustable control arms and springs. hopefully by the end of the month...

Manso, What township are you in? I lived in Pemberton for 3 years before I moved back to NY

Jersey huh? Yeah, thats a long way from home, we'd have to ship it. So you have the whole assembly then, huh (8.8 Axle, 3.73:1 gears) Does that come with the shafts? (if not, thats ok) I wanna run the 3.73:1 gears cause i'm goin with the AOD instead of a 5 speed and I think that'd go better, but we shall see - it's a work in progress. As long as everything's in good shape and works fine, I'm interested. Lemme know what you wanna get for it. If you could maybe get a pic or two that'd be cool.

Thanks a lot.

ok i just weight id and its comming up on my scale above 90# with everything. so at the most 100# it will be 80.05 for shipping. i measured it to be 64" long. after i take the calipers and rotors off unless you want the rusted rotors, it will be a good 10-15# less. so in all, it will cost between $71, and $80 for shipping. i was going to try to get 200 for the rear with calipers and rotors, but without them, ill drop it to 100+ shipping
the t-lock is still good on it to.
