I have a second 8.8 rear end sitting in my garage. This winter I plan on re-building it and swapping it w my stock GT 3.55 setup. (I Destroyed the diff in my first one and to save time Rehagen just swapped out a take off axle assembly so I could get the car running.)
Goal - build a bad azz rear end setup that has the performance of a PWC for less $.
Please point me in the right direction here is what i'm looking at so far. I already had the axle tubes welded to the center section.
1. ARP long wheel studs - tbd on size
2. Replace upper control arm bushing on the axle with a spherical bearing, and I can't find that part anywhere.
3. Eaton Detroit Truetrac diff - I know the lockout is not smooth but I need something for drag racing and road racing - torsen wont work.
4. Ford racing 3.15 gear kit - so cheap why not replace it.
5. Rehagen racing diff cooler kit and a gage
6. Stock Axles OK? still running NA.
7. New bearings - not sure what once to replace.
8. New rear brake rotors - floating ones from Girodisc - got them on the front.
Anything else? paint it black? I'm sure there are some major fundamental errors i'm making!
