Ford 8.8 Swap

i really like the idea of the 8.8". I have a ford 8" in my dart right now. I havn't wanted to spend the money on a nice locker in fear that I might brake an axle.

Whats the prosses of removing the axle tubes on the 8.8? In one of the pictures in one of those link's it looked like it was just a big set screw that held the axle tub to the center housing?

Is there an 8.8 out of anything else that would just bolt in? What about the fox body mustangs?

How much are you shortening the axle by shortening? stock A-body length?



thanks for the link
