Re: Ol' Blue

I know, there are those who will say the ford 8.8 needs a bunch of work to make it viable. axle bearing style change from c clip to a press on bearing like a 9" would have, a rear cover with bearing support trunnions etc. but I say "how many ford vehicles do you see on the side of the road with a missing axle? maybe if you planned on big hp or something, at which point you would likely beef up any axle you used. I know a fella who put big hp LS engines in a mustang with the 8.8 and the only thing he did was change the fluid when he installed the new supportive cover. like the one in the link
