Which 5 lug rear is widest?

[STREETFIGHTER50]

SVO
Turbo Coupe
or Marauder?

[SVO4PWR2]

a trick question because

Turbo Coupe is a 4 lug


And a Marauder isnt a Fox so it wont bolt in

so the answer would be SVO but then... oh nevermind

the SVO rear is

hth -RICH-

[86-TC/SVO]

What about the Mark VII ? I know it wasn't one of the choices. I'm sure the width is in the axls not the rear.

Just wondering as I picked up another coupe. Guy said it has a Marauder rear end, front has Bullitt calipers/rotors, 95 spindles, & 95 A-arms. Was gonna see if the 2005 up wheels would fit better than these stock 2000 GT wheels that it came with. I do have a lot of room in the rear inner fenderwells.

The SVO and the Mark VII are the same width and used the same axles. Some of later model Mark VIIs had a reluctor ring on them for the ABS brakes and were just a wee bit wider, housing stayed the same though.

That is what I was thinking. I knew they had the similer ABS ring that the 87'-88' TC's had. I just didn't know what years had the ABS rings.

Paraphrased from the CoolCats website and some other info added:

Mark VII 8.8"
All Lincoln Mark VIIs began using the 8.8" rear end around 1986. All Fox Lincolns had 5-lug axles. There have been reports of Mark VII's with 7.5" rears and drum brakes as well, so if you are shopping for a Mark axle be aware of this. The safest bet is to look at 1988-1992 LSC's (look for the third brake light in the rear window and LSC badges). Beginning in 1989, all Marks had standard ABS brakes. The rear end gear for all Mark VII's was 3.27 (locking) or 3.08 (non-locking). All LSCs had the 3.27.
