I am totally new to this whole process so I apologize up front on any idiotic questions that might come up. I'll start with the 1st one regarding a donor rear end that I picked up. I picked up a donor 8.8 axle out of a Mustang with the tag that reads S223B 2L73 8 8 3L22. Out of this I assume a 2.73 Limited Slip which at 1st internal glance I agree. I am curious on the date code if anyone knows what YEAR it is as I believe the month was December and 22nd day... so a Christmas baby? I also see that it is a 28 spline when I pulled the axles.
Here is my big question. If I am simply going to keep the 2.73 gearing and build a 351W, possibly bored out for 427 but going to use as a pleasure car and not a track car, will I be concerned if I kept the 28 spline setup? I am going to need to upgrade to get the Fox Body length axles for my build, but I really don't want to tear apart all the internals as they are in great shape.
Am I asking for potential problems if I don't plan on hammering the pedal in regards to destroying the 28 spline axles?
