Ford 8.8 swap?

Some Ford 8.8 info....

all ranger 8.8 axles are 28 spline and drum brakes
only some car(mustang) are 31 spline, most are 28.
all 95-01 Exploder axles are 31 spline and have disk brakes.
Axle shaft Dia is 1.32" Dana 60 axle shaft dia 1.40"
Axle ratios available from factory 2.73, 3.08, 3.27, 3.31, 3.56, 3.75, 4.10
Limited slip available in 3.31,3.56, 3.73 and 4.10
Yokes available in 3010 and 1350 u joints
You can get lots of aftermarket lockers for them.
If you want to compare D60 dont forget the extra HP required to spin the 60 which will also cost a few mpg as well.
an 8.8 will handle well over 450hp and lots of torque

We used them in Jeeps for years with zero failures, think 5000# wrangler 35-37" tires, 4.88 & 5.13 gears, 350-400 hp 4-1 low range then go play in huge boulders. I seriously doubt that a 3300# car with say 275 60 15 is going to ever get traction to match that.
If you cant find the right ratio w locker, then swap a locker into a 3.31. You should be able to get one for $100.

Get a 3.31 and put it in!!!!
