will it bolt into my 88 cougar without looking goofy?
i couldnt find much info on the mark7 axles...
Check out this link http://www.coolcats.net/tech/advanced/4to5lug.html
About 3/4 the way down it talks about swapping a Mark VII rear. Very informative for me! I'm sure it will tell you what you need to know. :D
It's about an inch wider on each side according to the thread...whether it looks goofy or not would be a matter of opinion I'd say...
