    Ford 8.8 Swap

    8.75 never came with discs, period. the imperial you are thinking of had an 8.25. the 8.75 can not be used with discs unless you change to the "green" ball bearing axle bearings. tons of info online about this. 28 vs 31 splines,as stated, is of no importance on a street car. rarely will you...

    Ford 8.8 Swap

    41 is a 3.27 open, D1 is a 3.27 posi. the 3.27 is an oddball in the 95+ disc rears, but common in the boxy drum-braked 91-94 explorers. want discs and a 3.27? easy....just take the housing from a 3.27 91-94, and pull all the axles and brake stuff out of a 95 and put it in there. any junkyard...

    Ford 8.8 Swap

    I know the Ford 8.8 is great to bolt up to a jeep for a rear axle change. I know that in the full size trucks the 8.8 did not hold up I've never seen an issue with an 8.8 in a full size truck. They held up a hell of a lot better than Dodge's 9.25. In an A-body, you're not going to hurt an 8.8...

    Ford 8.8 Swap

    i wouldnt hesitate for a minute to do the swap. 8.75 a body rears are pricey, and you'll have to get narrowed c-body axles and drums anyway to get the 4.5" pattern. too much money finding 8.75 rears in junkyards with anything over 2.94 gears is almost extinct these days, and LSD's are worse...
