8.8 information

[mjstiltheydie]

I have a question about which 8.8 is the correct one to get. I am looking to get one with disc brakes. In my search I have found many from many from 6 cylinder engines but not so many from 8 cylinder engines. Is there a difference in the two? What should I be looking for is basically what I am asking?

Great place for 8.8 and 9" info ;)

 

No information on the swap itself though.

 

EDIT: swap information too: http://members.cox.net/rough-riders/tec ... rd8_8.html

 

EDIT2:

if you want discs then look for a Explorer '95-01, as these are the ones with the disks brakes. '91-94 axle assemblies are just as strong, but have 10" drums (Which are more easily connected to your existing hydraulic lines and Parking brake cables)

The v6 and v8 Explorer axles are essentially identical. The only differences are the exterior bracketry and you'll be cutting all that off anyway.

Ideally you want a post 1996 model from a FORD EXPLODER/MOUNTAINEER.
