I'm just finishing up my 8.8 ford mustand rear end conversion in my SA Turbo II project and it's looking pretty sweeeeeeet. Just wondering if anyone else that's done this conversion would show us some flicks of theirs, of course i'm going to show mine as well i'm just trying to find out what a good pandhard bar set up looks like either with the stock gas tank or fuel cell, I"m looking for a good panhard bar that I could use without doing a fuel cell or any kind of extra $$ bs, but of course if it means getting this buster up and running than i'm just going to have to fork the cash, you know!
Now before you say go look, and search. I've done that. I've seen some flicks of g-force tri link and some others, but they've all been race cars in prep and never had a gas tank or complete yet.
Anyone Got a Flick.

 

Check with Gonzz. btw, you;re in the wrong section. When did a SA become an old school.

 

He was moved to this section against his will. It was originally posted in the 1st gen section where it belongs. I think it has something to do with the mention of the Ford rear end.

 

that moderator should be shot.

 

I got a little snap happy and here are some flicks.
Right now without the panhard bar the *** is swaying in the wind so I haven't been driving it too much but , once i get that fawker on it's on

 

nice

 

who made that rearend? how much did it cost?

 

paul and that all. Secret safe and sound, na just playing but come to L.A cali and i'll tell you ,,,$$$$$$ in hand please

 

Your making me really excited to get my 8.8" from grannies.... Maybe at the end of the month...

 

Anyone make a how to for adding a 8.8 to your 7?

 

get an 8.8/ 9" (12 would be great) rear end disk to disk /// not drum to drum , i guess it doesn't matter if you going to be getting aftermarket rotors and calipers and such but, take it to a shop have them narrow it and re-bracket it up. Put your axels,possie and gears shimmed and do the damn thing.

 

Easiest way would be just to buy the grannies kit, then it should be pretty straight forward from there instructions and pictures on there site.

 

the 8.8 is a direct fit ..you dont have to narrow it ...all you have to do is get a rear end from a turbo coupe and take the axles out of it and put drum brake 4 lugs axles from a 4 cyl mustang and redrill the lug pattern to a honda lug pattern so you can fit after marcket wheels that will fit a honda so the wheel stick inside the fender...

 

I paid $1300 for everything plus coustom driveshaft. HOW MUCH FOR THE GRANNIES CONVERSION?

 

FIx Reply #11 (12 BOLT would be grea)

 

fix to ^ that , would be greaT)

 

What sway bar is that?

 

Looks like Whiteline's adjustable, but the endlinks are too nice and fully tunable. Make sure you disconnect a side, sit in the car, and have a buddy reconnect so you have zero preload on that bar.

 

Holy thread Ressurection lol.its a racing beat/mazdatrix sway bar.

 

5 year necro FAIL

 

any more swap pics? 8.8...ford9...toyota8?

 

I may be the tread necromancer but I did get the info I needed. Now my "pet" has the right sway bar to attack with. Thank you.

 

I remember years ago I helped rollinrock put that rear in his car lol.

 

So does anyone know what’s way bar that is??? Or one that will work with a 8.8 swap??

 

Because of the way it fits OE end link mount I would guess that it is an aftermarket adjustable sway bar that was built for an FB. The axle brackets were fabricated and welded to the 8.8 rear end
