8.8 in Fbody?
Whats peoples thought on running a Ford 8.8 in a fbody?
I have an opportunity to pick one up that is already fit for Fbody but i was wondering if its worth it to go with the 8.8 or hold off and save for a 12 bolt/9/s60 |
If it is already set up to fit an F-Body, I'd run it. It is more than enough for your power level.
|
IMO, if you don't want to add any more power, go for it. BUT if you plan on going ham later, save yo monies

Its a Ford 8.8 w/ 31 spline axles & Torsen diff, Fbody bolt pattern axles and width, with brakes. 4.11 gear. |
What's the price? If price is decent I wouldn't hesitate. 8.8 has 8.8" ring. 9 has 9" ring. Not a big difference.
8.8 is equivalent in strength to a chevy 12 bolt |

I would grab it. Just check it out real good. I just spent 3k for a strange 12 bolt. Hawks sells the 8.8 conversion for a fbody about the same price as the strange unit.

I would go with the 8.8 over a 12 bolt. 9in or 60 for an m6 car tho.

Stronger the automatic isnt as hard on the rear axle as the stick shift. My 12 bolt sounded like a jet coming thru the rear window.
