i'm not to worried about a 8.8,i have several friends with 9 and 10 sec mustangs running c clips and stk axles,every 7.5 10 bolt i ever shattered was not the axle but the carrier,a set of moser's or stranges would not have done any good

I run a 7-5/8 posi with 28 spline moser g/n axles with 3.42 in my BBB455 powered elco . And everyone knows that the buicks BB are some stump pullin torque monsters. But i do not run a drag radial which i dont plan on it , I am happy with the times it produces and dangling the left front just seems to rock lol. And if the carrier does decide to let go there a dime a dozen in every junkyard.
I don't know Jimmy I have been running the numbers and for a little more 600-800 dollars I can have a real rear end that I can abuse as needed! The budget really is not there but if I don't find a 7 5/8 rear soon I will just call Currie and or Tom's. What do you guy's think about going with a brand new Eaton posi with the best Moser axles that I can get for this rear? Will that hold up to racing abuse? I do not want to spend the cash for nothing....
for 600-800 you could put a 8.8 in it,and if it comes from a v-8,it will have a limited slip and probably 3.23 gears,but a new set of ford motorsport 3.73 or 4.10's can be had for 150.00.get some ranger drums and redrill the axles and you have a 5 lug rear,just off the top of my head,with the upper control arms,a set of gears,and a used complete rear and new drumsyou should have a little over 700.00 in it
