Yea, T-bird IRS COULD be a problem, but we won't know until we look in to it further. The T-bird IRS is VERY well built. It looks much stronger than my Vette IRS.

I agree as well about the Exploder diff. And Adam I think you could get one with a 3.55 LS in the rear in 4x2 trim. You pretty much had to have the 4.0L motor I believe.

If you want to stick with the IRS, go turbo 2. No reason to fab stuff when a stout bolt in is available.

I agree, either T2 or narrowed 8.8 solid. Probably solid, but don't need to decide just yet. We'll be using a stout manual probably a fairly grabby clutch and sticky tires. There are some guys running 500HP+ LS1s w/T56 and the T2, but it seems like they still can fail of course.

Also, there is the issue of gearing. For aesthetic reasons I'd like to run a shorter tire (25-26). With our trans and a 4.1 rear (both our stock NA and the T2 are 4.1) we'd pretty much have to run a 28" tire or we'll be redlining at like 115.

I haven't measured it yet but I'm sure no matter what we get an 8.8 out of that we will have to have it narrowed because this car is little. It's just about the right size for my 7 year old. I'll just need to teach her how to drive a stick.
