my low buck street and strip ride

But yet, in a previous post you say it's a cost effective solution? Hmmm

You are aware Mustangs aren't the only source for 8.8s, and two, 94-up Mustangs are 5 lug, right?

Weird...

explorer's are the closest size for a direct swap. They were always 5x4.5. They also had gear ratio's ranging from 3.55, 3.73, and 4.10

A 4.10 limited slip exploder rear end is a great budget swap.
