    Default T-Bird Turbo Coupe 8.8 Rear Axle in Fairmont Wagon

    Need some help with a parts list to install a T-Bird turbo Coupe 8.8 quad shock 4 lug rear axle into my Fairmont wagon. Since I already have this axle assembly, I'm wondering if I can do some part swapping to keep the overall assembly at a width that is the same as the original 7.5. While I can certainly appreciate the increased strength of this rear end over my 7.5, it's the disc brake feature that's the carrot for me. My long term plans are to, one day, install a 2.3 turbo motor in this car but right now it's the 3.3 six, and I still want to retain the Ten-Hole 4 lug powder coated wheels I already have. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

    Its 3/4" wider per side. You can flip the brackets and swap sides to use stang width. Otherwise, you are looking at custom brackets to keep the stock width.
