Are those 88 cougars single traction or do they roll out on both wheels? I have a rear end from one and just wanted to know It's a 7.5 with 2:73 ratio gears..
engine was a 289ci (4.7L) casted from a '65 Galaxie and had 302 heads, tranny was a 4 speed toploader (you're better off with ur 5 speed), and the pedal set was from a thunderbird turbo coupe as was the rear end cuz they have disc brakes
Very nice car and vid.I hope to build a Cougar after I get done with my Cutlass project that I'm droping a Buick 350 into.The problem is going to be finding a late 80's Cougar.Seems like the old cars from 80's are getting harder and harder to find.
Sold that car in February...sad but true. Yeah the pedal assy was from a tbird and the tranny was a regular toploader hitched to the old 289 and it had a turbo coupe rear end. so it had a 4spd box with a 5spd rear end so basically it had drag gears. twas quick.
do u kno any sites to stuff for my 88 cougar

You don't have an HO.
There was no HO in any Fox Cougar/Thunderbird.

well....
There is an HO in this car. And I have done my homework since this little conversation. This car has an engine out of an 86 LTD with the e6 heads.
So yes, it DOES have an HO.
Kthxbye

Did you use a pedal assembly from a T-Bird? What tranny are you using?
