Unsure where to get the flange sans the dealer or another pick-n-pull. (PM me, I have at least one extra) You also need the bolts for it, yes they are special made for this application. I recommend MOPAR perches, good stout and CHEAP!! (I also have an extra set of these) I welded up my own hose mounts and used both right side hoses for convenience mounting. then bend up some lines and make some adaptors for the emergency brakes.

mvusse Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 You can get a flange from an Exploder at the JY. I believe you'll have to use a 1310-1330 conversion u-joint to use your existing drive shaft, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 If I remember right, the Aerostars and crown vics that got the 8.8 had the proper flange adapter. Be sure it's an 8.8 though, and not the 7.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
