probably a PT88

the only thing that will be worked is the heads, the 317s everything else will stay in tack. nothing on the assembly will be opened up, this motor has less 7k miles

Its been a long time since I was in the market for a 8.8 Explorer piece, but I remember it being a long span of years. Seems like 92-99 or something. I think the older ones were drum brakes, newer being discs.

One of my favorite things about those rears is the fact they have a metal tag attached to the brake line with the rear gear and if its a locker or not. No glove box BS or RPO codes, lol.

It was two body styles, the 92-95 ones with square headlights and square everything, and the body style after that, 96-2000?
