    Longer Axles???

    Ok my plan was to pickup a detroit locker from ebay and get superior 31 spline axle kit from summit and then grab an 8.8 from my buddy's junk Mark VII. Problem is some people here on stangnet say they are 3/4" longer on each side for a total 1.5". If I were to buy these axles would there be a...

    What size slick will fit?

    I just measured my tires after reading this read. I already have 10.5" tires out back. I knew they were 275s, but didn't know that was 10.5". Looks like I'm buying 15x10 draglites :).

    South Jersey guys...

    Anybody got an 8.8 housing? I'll throw $50 to anybody that has one for me. Gears don't matter because it's gettin gutted for a locker and 31 spline axles. I'd go to a junkyard but I don't want to have to search and then drag the rear 500 yards. When instead I could come pick it up or even if...

    300 rwhp

    Who got dyno'd after getting PERFORMER heads? Surprised these didn't arise more in the conversation. And what are the 2 types of dyno metering? SAE and something else.

    Breaking a T5

    I'm (hopefully) towards the end of my 88 project. The only thing left to do is a put together a strong rear for slicks. How much will my T5 hold up with lots of hard launches? I hear all the time on hear about people going through T5s like toilet paper. My motor is a strong 300hp combo. I am...

    LX > GT conversion...

    Im about 75% done. I just need to do the wing and side skirts. My problem is I need to know the best way to mount the side skirts. I already have some double sided tape. I also have 2 strips of metal with 1/2" holes spread sequentially. Do I have to somehow drill up through the bottom of the...

    which differental do i want?

    Is there an INEXPENSIVE locker. The best I've found is $400. I think it was a Detroit true-trac. BTW, the Detroit EZ track is NOT for drag racing. It doesn't hold up at all. That statement came from their website.

    FRPP 8.8s... Any Stronger??

    Aside from being pretty much brand new, will I be alright with this rear assy on bolted slicks? The motor is just an HCI combo so nothing crazy goin on. Thanks Oh yeah, I'll be getting it from summit for like $800. Is this worth it??? Comes with 3.73s

    Will an 88 Bronco rear fit in my mustang??

    I need an 8.8 and I completely forgot about the one out in my driveway. If nobody knows then I will measure the housing length and get the tag off of the diff cover. Thanks.

    Anyone have a "cool" car cover?

    Besides putting this in talk... My suggestions would be to get a plain one and add your own decals. You could easily find large FORD decals and then put it on either side and front and back. I know there's a site that sells CRAZY car covers. The wire-lock at the bottom and they are made to fit...

    Paint Job in a Can???

    Yeah I bet it would be a lot of cans to fully mask my gray primer to raven black/flat black. I'm gonna see about getting paint for my HVLP gun.

    Paint Job in a Can???

    I just finished applying my epoxy primer to my 88GT. This car is strictly for the track so I'm not TOO worried about the aesthetics of it. I've heard you can get some kinda paint from a can that does decent work and that there is also a clear coat in a can. I have an HVLP spray gun which I...

    Assembling a rear.

    Yeah that's wierd. I just want to do this thing and get it over with. It will be one helluva weekend project. For me it'll be from Saturday AM to Sunday PM because usually something goes wrong and then HOURS later it just clicks.

    Assembling a rear.

    Just reread something and noticed in the write-up the guy says when using FORD MOTORSPORT (FRPP?) gears you can use the MHD method. Master Housing Dimension. Anyway, my question is, what if I'm NOT using a Ford made differential (DETROIT LOCKER) and using Motive 4.10s? I don't want to have to...
