I have a 83 5.0 convertable and a extra 2001 cobra tremec trans and complete i.r.s rearend. I know about the swap of the trans but I have never seen a i.r.s swap. Now before the comments start about live axle versus i.r.s I am doing this just to see if it can be done I know about the front 5 lug conversion and the 13 inch brake upgrade. any help would be great

I have seen an I.R.S swap before somewhere on the net but I can't remember the address. But I know for a fact that it is possible and it can be done. My personal opinion is the amount of modifaction's and money it would take to perform this swap woudn't be worth it.
