8.8 swap

So does everyones 8.8 with drums do this? i actually bought two, paid 130 for both and the aluminum driveline! :) .. At the junkyard i had checked if the axles had play, it seemed tight, but at the same time the drums were tight on the brake shoes, could that be why it had originally felt tighter and now i notice the play?

Yeah just checked, hadn't seen the wheels in a while. They're
a hair over 5 and 3/4". It fit closely but i wanted to use the torque thrust's i had originally had on the car, so i opted to section the tubing.

Total for everything i spent 130 for an 8.8 with drums and lsd, with 3.27's and the other 8.8 with disks with open 3.73's. Along with the driveline, all bolts, shock plates, and sway bars. Pretty good deal imo! I did buy an extra short side axle too, which was 30 dollars at the local pick n pull, but that was before i bought the second rear for the disks -__- .
