    We have no idea how it sold for that much in all honesty. It was great car with $35k worth of parts alone but still not worth that.

    This was my first major project that I was involved in when I came to the shop I work at. We built this car for Linginfelter Perforamnce and Royal Purple. It was owned by RP's Vice president. We basically replaced any and all moving parts and kept the original turbo v6. It was my first SEMA...

    8.8 Rear End Swap

    The only reason I was planning on possibly using the 7.5 was becaise I have a Trutrac i was gifted from my shop. Possibly put 3.42 - 3.73 and use it for the remainder of the summer. Sadly finding Monte rear ends around me being in Detroit, do not lay around long.

    8.8 Rear End Swap

    Does anyone have any insight on what it will take to swap a Ford 8.8 rear end into a Gbody. I'm aware that brackets will need to be replaced, axles will need to be drilled to bolt pattern, as far as I can tell an 86-93 Mustang rear end is the best choice. Anyone have experience with this swap...
