    3.8L T5 to 5L T5

    i am looking to upgrade my 97 v6/5spd pony to a v8 trans. i know all in all they are virtually the same, but there are technical differences. if people use the 4 cyl T5's in v8 applications for harder (and less safe) launches, i know that it is not impossible to use a v8 tranny in my v6...

    k-member

    yes. the 4.6L and the 3.8L share the same k-member. the motor mounts offer the difference on these cars. good luck with that swap. (@$4/gal)

    Rear Suspension Nightmares.... Please Help!

    what makes no sense of everything is that the rear end is fine without the dampers, but when added they are bottomed outand they provide all the roughness because they arent letting the shocks operate properly. if you look at the rear from the side (looking at the brake rotor) it seems as...

    Rear Suspension Nightmares.... Please Help!

    yeah, the axle is from a 94-98 mustang. i bought it empty with new seals and bearings and added 3.55's and a locker and my axles from my 7.5... everything else bolted up flawlessly. when i added the quad shocks it jacked the car up severely. this is unacceptable. attatched are pics of...

    8.8" swap

    i just completed my 7.5"-8.8" rear axle swap. what a difference! new u-joints, new shocks, and a new rear with 3.55 gears made my weekend. the swap was pretty straight forward, and i used my axles and brakes from my 7.5... it only got a little tricky when i tried to bolt up the caliper...
