8.8 swap

MoparmanDan, I really like that design, it looks like it will function well. How does it line up under the car?
What I see being a placement issue in MoparMatt2000's pic is the space constraints. There is not a lot of space between the Ujoint and the tunnel (and no tunnel support there), causing it to not work efficiently.
I meant which pic about space constraints ? If it had something to do with me considering adapting the 7.25 pinion snubber to the ford axle. I abandoned that idea. I think the moparmandan idea is more simple and realistic. As long as it lines up with the transition pan reinforcing plate. A good idea would be to measure the 7.25 from centerline forward to the snubber bumper, and try to make the one for the ford axle to sit in the same spot and about the same height or a little higher. I may still build one like Dan's design and ditch the slapper bars altogether. Not a big fan of those but figured they were better than nothing.
