I'm guess because we're roots, sticky tires and manual, we'll be at the lower end. I'm considering going straight to the 8.8, that way I can attempt to sell the stock unit and won't have to have two different drive shafts made. Don't have to decide yet, but something to keep rolling around upstairs. Plenty to do for now.


One person did mention an 8.8 IRS. Something like the stock HS and hubs are fine, but the ring and pinion give. Maybe slotting an 8.8 pumkin in there is in an interesting combination. . .

The IRS in the T-Birds and Cobra have the same 8.8 ring and pinion as the solid 8.8. The difference is that it uses half shafts that are not as strong as the solids axles.
