Yes I thought about that. But the ford axle was perfect length and I want disc brakes. It’s a runner not a show car. I can live with it

Breaking in the cam tonight. She needs a lot more tuning but it’s alive. Car has been down since 1983. So close to road ready.

My first big mopar. It should be burning rubber this time next week. Thank you

8.8 good call. 01 explorer to be exact

Oh and a sharp eye will notice that’s not a mopar rear end. 8 3/4 axles are gold in Louisiana. So it has 4 wheel disc brakes courtesy of the narrowed rear axle.

2” primaries on headers. It has a limited slip with 373 gears.

OG oreillies auto parts

Nope I had to rebuild the unibody due to rust. It got reinforced then

No maiden voyage yet. Tranny cooler lines tomorrow then I will try.

Last two pics

Here is my 440 swap. I am posting to discuss problems I faced and solutions had. Oh and to show up a little I guess. The engine is a 76 motor home model rebuilt. 2355 pistons with a 6401 summit cam. TTI headers and a rebuilt 727. Check her out and hit me up if I can help with you project.
