My sons car has an 8.8 from an explorer. Why ? It was 150.00 from the junkyard, had disc brakes, and 4.10 gears with posi. All we did was cut the perches off and weld new ones on. We didn't even change the oil ! It's been repeated 11 teens and prob a couple hundred 11.50 passes (11.50 index car) what's funny is 150.00 rear ended, with 600.00 Afco double adjustables....lol

If the car gets more serious, i t will get a 9" but one like my car has, all aftermarket....lol
