you could swap your explorer 8.8 for a mustang 8.8 for a centered center section. somebody would be tickled to buy your old one set up for the task force, maybe.
found this info on the net, if that interests you.
79-93 Mustangs use a 57 inch wide rear axle. 94-98 Mustangs use a 58.5 inch wide rear axle. 99 and newer Mustangs use a 59 7/8 inch wide rear axle. Lincoln Mark7 LSC, SVO Mustang and Fox Body Saleens use a 59.5 inch wide rear axle.

just a few ideas to ponder and confuse the heck outta ya, lol. |
No that's great - appreciate it - really.
I think Im sold on just doing the custom tank to get it where I want on the frame rail but inside. Axles are harder to get around here than they should be - at least with the fact I have no truck (borrow neighbors) and no time except for weekends. I emailed/called a few but not much luck on anything close. They do pop up from time to time on CL. If I had known the offset would have caused this issue - would have gone with a regular centered 8.8. Was just after the 31 splined shafts and the 3.73 gears :P
Now just deciding on getting someone to weld it up for me or do it myself
I'll probably have some guy do it though.
So that leads onto fuel accessories. This is what I think I need ...... missing anything or anything else recommended .... there are SO many choices.
