thanx for the link i did not know that they were doing the conv. here in DFW,

Im the one that was wondering about the 8.8 by the way i was at work and could not post.


looks like im going to get the compleat car for $250 its got lots of mods and i will be parting it out after i can get it torn down less the rearend of corse

so if any of you mustang folks interested in a parts list for the 93gt pm me or post e mail and i will get one out as soon as i can.


and any more info about the 8.8 conv. would be good

You have to weld your stock axle tubes to the 8.8 pumpkin.
You have to make a torque arm mount and weld it to the 8.8 pumpkin.
Your stock 28 spline axles will fit perfect in the 8.8 housing.

You need to heat the 8.8 pumpkin(cast iron I believe) with a torch before you weld to it or the welds won't hold as well.

I think thats it, as long as everything is measured and welded correctly.

 

bad A$$ thanx

sound like i'll be running an 8.8

The axles do not fit perfect. Check out this link:

He was talking about the axle tubes not fitting in that post not the axles as they will slide right in.
