8.8 swap

So, I was at a U-pull last weekend and thought I'd check out the 8.8 situation over in the ford area.

My findings were:

All of the explorer "sport-trac" vehicles were missing their rear axles.
Must be more likely to have limited slip.

About half of the regular explorers were missing theirs, and about 1/3 of the rangers.

Most rangers, including the later rounded body styles had 14" wheels, many with white letter tires!

Some rangers and explorers had the same style alloy wheels, but the ranger version was 14" and the explorer version 15"

The aforementioned wheels along with some others could be a fairly cheap way to get decent wheels in 5 on 4.5 with a favorable RWD back spacing (yes I know about the potential register hole issues, but I've seen ranger 14's on Dusters before.
