GTs all have 8.8

StalkerStang · 07-08-2002

Except for the older style foxes, I think pre 85.

the 8.8 will bolt into a 79-85 without problems, and 86 was the first year for the quad shock (SVO excluded)

My '85 had quads with the 7.5, and so did my '84

84 was the transition year for quad shocks. Some did some didn't. Mine does.

Yeah my 84 has the quad shock and it looks like my 82 gt did also before it was lowered and aftermarket traction bars were added unless the rearend was changed I have not a clue.
