any 8.8 if you keep your axle shafts like on a mustang and ford trucks just find out the rear gear ratio.

People always seem to ask questions about the rear ends and interchangability(might not be a word). The ring and pinion as well as the carrier are interchangeable on all the 8.8 rear ends. Changing the banjo (complete housing) is really unnecessary. Where some get in trouble, is in the reassembly. The instructions have to be followed or things will tend to sing and there are some songs, we just don't want to hear.
:read:
But, I need to add, check the number of splines on the axles so you have a match for the carrier.

Isn't there a throttle body that's a direct bolt-on? I thought I read somewhere that 95ish NA 3.8 throttle bodies fit, with no modifications and it's not a huge upgrade, but a step up from stock?
87 TC: 5spd, started B234F head swap (overall setup changing), Quarterhorse, T3/T4 63 a/r, 3" exhaust, walbro 255, tubular front clip, 5 lug swap, 17x8 front/17x9 rear cobra r's, wilwood 4 piston calipers (rear only, for now), lightened 471lbs so far
