rear end

[sputtina]

how do i tell if my 88 lx has the right rear end for a 5.0? was there a different one for the 4 cyl? whats involved in changing it if it is for a 4cyl,hopefully nothing with the housing.finally, what is the best gears to use? i'd like this thing extremely quick off the line.
Thanks, sputtina
