Well I picked up an 8.8 for the mustang. Got it from a buddy of mine
for FREE. This free stuff is working out GREAT!

The notch has 2.73's in it right now, which is great for mileage. I just got 23.95 going from My house up to Ft Worth and back. Which is pretty good. But unfortunatley, it's not great for the power department.

I've gotta go through it. Going to change wheel bearings, control arm bushings. I've got new brakes to put on it. Fill her up with some royal purple, and bolt her up.

Sand it down man.... Make it look pretty! I have a new 3.73 rear I just built to replace my 4.10 rear I have now. Can't get motivated to put it in though. Even with 4.10's I'm getting 16-18mpg here at fort hood/Killeen. And that's 100% city stop and go! Car doesn't see 1 mile of highway.

awesome man!...yeah I've gotta blast it apart, do the wheel bearings, and pinion seal. Everything else looked awesome. I'm going to grind all the rust off, and seal it all up, with some rustoleum black rust protectant.
