8.8 swap

well the one i bought is an open carrier, but i knew that before i bought it. ultimately its going to put me a little over the budget i planned, but its ok.

the ford performance trac lok carrier is beefy, has carbon fiber clutch packs, plus i'm getting new spider gears and carrier, and it's a little over $200. the rebuild kit for it with the carbon fiber clutches costs around $75.

so its a bit more expensive but not killer. and it will be all new guts, and i like that peace of mind
