V6 or V8 all are the same 8.8 in explorers........ JY will ask ya V6 or V8 more than likely.
They are the same, all 31 splines. I paid $100 less for my last 8.8 4.10 LSD "v6 rearend" than what they wanted for one out of a V8... JY guy said he had a pile of the 6cyl rears but the V8 8.8 were very rare....i laughed all the way home
Get 97 up and it will have disc brakes and you can use the explorer Park brake cables also.
