8.8 swap

Another rubber line. Look right up there ^^^^^^ Post #853

The one steel line comes back from the master and goes into a rubber line above the rear axle. That rubber line goes down to the axle and slits with a T or Y fitting and runs to each rear wheel.

Can I use the original mopar one for that?

This is what I need then?

Yup. It still has a little bit of hard line on the end in the pic from the donor exploder.

This it the rear left it looks like the one dan posted is the one with the writing correct?

So the hard line goes back to the mastercylinder?

Yup. And the Exploder rubber line isn't going to reach. You'll have to take your car's hardline out of its mount and get creative with the bend and a new mount.

That's fine I'm running all new hardline anyways. I am ordering all my parts for the rearend and got really confused with that I thought I only needed those two but when I took my rear end out of the car I knew there was another rubber hose in there

Ford 8.8, lol. Guess yours are gone?
Oh yeah, your 7.25 shock plates ain't gonna work. Use Speedway 8.75 plates. They're for 3 inch diff's and the 8.8 is a little over 3. So you'll have to squeeze the u-bolts bolts a little extra or Matt is working on something. I squozed 'em. Again, lol.

 

[Dartfreak75]

I bought 83/4 shock plates will the standard 8.8 unbolt work with the 83/4 plates
