Lil update
Had to get some brackets done up for the 8.8 rear end and dropped it off at cooks machine shop in east Los Angeles,a week later got it back done.they shortened to our needed length and welded the brackets up for us.we are just waiting on the traction lok 31 spline diff,gears,bearing kit,and the new axles to arrive so we can start putting the diff housing together.
Going to start to install the new bushings on all the diff mounting bars so everything can be ready for when we receive the rest of the parts.
Also got the engine rotor housings back from getting some work done to them
Need to clean up the semi p port,port the exhaust,and find some turbo II exhaust sleeves.

Hardest part was having the brackets made.cooks machine shop did good work on the housing and welding in the brackets,but didn't want to deal with making the brackets themself which is why I had to draw them up and have a water jet cutting place make them for me.it just takes money to do all this but worth it if running high horsepower turbo motors.diff housing is a 8.8 of a mustang,but with stronger and beefier 31 spline internals.

I have a banana style xmember. Is that what you have? If so how will you be mounting engine? I will be dropping in a TII motor with tranny and dont want to hack it. Based on your pics your work is on point. Lookong for some recommendations.
Your help is appreciated.

When you say stock engine bracket I am assuming you mean from an old school motor..Hence you will also change front cover to go with bracket.
That said with the S4/S5 motors and newer they come with electronic oil metering pumps (EOMP) on the front covers. Since you will have to replace front cover how will you take care of electronic oil metering pump? Do you have to bypass EOMP so it doesnt throw your ecu into limp mode? Or how will you address?
I an new to this so I apologize if I am asking way to many questions.
Your advice is appreciated! Thank You
