FL New guy questions.

I bought a fd roller and the ppf well that why I've seen it called anyways. Is there a way to delete that to hold the rear diff in place without having that?

you can fabricate a mount for the diff nose to the frame, i assume you are doing an engine swap which is why you are omitting it?

Not doing a swap. Going to stay true to the car and keep a rotary in it. Tracking one down and then the cost of shipping seems to be unworth the time and I have been looking at the diff and figured I could make my own stabilizer for it... thanks for the post.

Up and foremost before I start putting any more money intonky project is getting the title for it. Car hasn't been on the road since 2007 and the last person to have this car driving had a beast of a motor in here. Mr2foryou is the old owner of my car.

Then I recommend finding a Power Plant Frame (PPF). It doesn't just support the differential, it ties-in the entire drivetrain, including the engine and transmission. Trying to fabricate something to properly support those is "unworthy the time".

i agree, just keep looking around for a PPF and you should be able to find one. since it's going back to original it is the best way to keep the drivetrain aligned and ease of installation.
