8.8 swap
I just meant if I weld it right (like you discribed) it shouldn't move, or warp enough to make a difference.
I started on the dissasembly this morning. Some one who owned the car before me welded a trailer hitch to the frame. I'm probably going to leave the 1/4 inch plate on the frame, since the leaf's are wider than the frame anyways, it should just add some strength.
You can see the big difference in rear-ends. The 8.8 has a whole inch bigger axle tube than the 8". The axle shafts themselves are a lot larger on the 8.8 too. I'll pull one later and take a picture of the two. For now here's a couple pics.
