as soon as I brought it home, but sog the way, installed an entirely new/rebuilt front subframe and a shortened 8.8 out of an explorer. Suspension upgrades include rear mono-leaf, caltracs knock off, double adj QA1 front and rear, tubular upper contr I picked up a used 360/727, but after teardown they seem to be junk. They will make good cores
These days it seems like even "newer" magnum engines are cores. I picked up a 5.9 from the late 90s. Heard it run, sounded fine, but had a huge cylinder ridge and the whole engine was whooped, but that was only seen with it apart.
a ford 8.8 is a very good choice these days. strong and available. I have a 63 valiant wagon and I have a 8.8 from a 92 ranger. The ranger is a slightly smaller axle diameter than the exploder and it only has drums but I didn't have to narrow it. where else can anyone get limited slip 3.73 gears for a hundred dollars. Two black marks on the street is better than one.
