SVO rear axle into sn95?

[SecondMustangGT]

My sons 95 6 cylinder coupe rear end with 235k on has gave worn out. I can pick up a 86 SVO rear axle for 75 dollars. Will this rear axle work in the car. I have had no luck buying a 8.8 with 5 lug for a good price. Axle bearing are toast and I figure the axle are bad too. I hear the Ranger axles are too short for this application. He starts back to college soon and I need to get this fixed. I want to move to a 3.55 gear if possible. I think the 2.73 is not helping his mileage.

the fox axles are a bit narrower than the SN body axle... it should work, but it might look a hair goofy...

personally, I have a '95 GTS with a 99-04 axle... which is 1.5 inches overall wider than the '95 axle and it looks great. I am stuffing 315's under my car and I get to keep my quadshocks.

3.55's aren't going to help your gas mileage in any way over 2.73s.


if you don't care about the gas mileage check this one out.

I was told the svo rear axle was 3/4 inches wider on each side than the Fox body but have yet to find any measurements between the fox the sn95 and the svo

I can't imagine the SVO would be any different from any other Fox axle...the SVO IS a Fox afterall, but I guess you never know.

I don't have the link on my iPad but google matt90gt homepage and you will find everything you need to know.

Assuming the SVO axle is the same width as a normal fox axle...you can put your sn95 shafts in there to get the same width as the original axle.


And i bet the 3.55 helps with gas as the car wont struggle as much to get moving.

really depends on the type of driving that is done...

if he is just around town, a 3.55 might actually be better on gas than a 2.73 gear....

but of course if he does a lot of highway driving the 2.73 will reign superior.

for comparison, try taking off in 3rd gear all of the time and run through 2 or 3 tanks like that and compare your mileage, I bet your mileage suffers because your car has to work harder to get up to speed.

Mr. Chevy boy your assumption is mistaken, SVO axles are longer than regular foxes:biggthump
