I got excited when I first found this thread but after a quick check on part prices no longer interested lol I may get hated for this but it’s way cheaper to go 8.8
no hate here. I planned to go that route till I stumbled upon an 8.25 rebuilt and ready to go for a good price. Wasn’t worth fooling with the 8.8 at that point for me. Good luck with the swap, seems guys are happy with them!
