8.8 swap
i have about 10,000 miles on the 8.8 in my duster. most of that is with a 400 and viper t56. its not the fastest thing around but i do throw a beating at it regularly. i have no idea how many miles were on it when i got it, im sure a lot. all i did was clean it up fresh brakes, chop off the brackets, weld the tubes to the center. i put the ford end on my stock driveshaft and ran that for a while, with the original joints. eventually i went with a new shaft with 1350s.
