    What year and model vehicle ares good donors for a 8.8 rear to install in a maverick? I'd like a posi and 3.2x-3.5x gear if possible. I'd also need the rear brakes.

    A lot of people like the Explorer rear but it needs to be narrowed. If I were doing one I would use one from an SN95 Mustang. It's close enough width wise, only need to add spring perches and plenty strong for the majority of our cars.

    What is a SN95 mustang? Is that a special edition or is it certain years?

    It is the name they gave the body style of 1994-2004 Mustangs
