explorer 8.8 in an a-body: experience needed

Supershafts said

This is what you said when asked , and how we are at YOUR 60/40 system not working correctly, lets stay with the facts you gave, and not add anything that wasn't already known. the above is not getting any relevance

We now have to refresh memory so i'll start all over and use quotes so no one is misunderstood......

Then i asked



This was asked because a proper brake system on 60/40 or even 70/30 doesn't go thru multiple front brake changes and no rears.



Apparently i do know very well how your rear pads are wearing since You told me... TWICE on the front ZERO at the back

All i have pointed out is you changed the front pads twice in a 60/40 or even 70/30 and think thats normal and it is not, you have a brake problem believe it or not.

You guys should probably exchange phone numbers at this point, or settle it in PMs and lay out the final answer here. Any valuable information about putting an 8.8 in an a-body is being lost through the argument over the requirement for an RV.

Based on my previous scuffles with Supershafts on this forum, he doesn't just work through a project until it's functional. He works through a project until it's done right. He doesn't leave any room for guesswork.

I appreciate his input to the thread because he seems to be laying out the detailed steps of what is needed to correctly install a fully-functioning and safe system. Maybe the degree of safety (or reliability) is overkill for some, but that's up to each person to decide.

I'd like to see a final answer to the OPs question about simply moving the shackles and installing the rear (even though I think the offset center section will prove to be an issue), so maybe somebody on here has the answer to that. Thanks.
