I have a 79 Aspen. I put an 8.8 in it. I didn't use an Explorer rear end though. I found that the 94-98 Mustang GT has nearly the same width rear axle. I bought mine out of a 97. I cut the coil spring perches off and welded leaf spring perched on. Its the same bold pattern and rear disc brakes...

Trying to use the V8 I bought. Those pics look like they will help.

These are all the different parts of linkages I have. First photo. The second photo is if the bracket that bolts to the frame rail, but it doesn’t bolt up flush to the rail like the one that was on it.

I will have to get back under it and take some pics. It seems like the geometry is off. I'm going to put a level on the engine. It possible the left side is too high.

Can someone give me some advice or help? I have a 79 Volare 4dr. It was a slant six/auto. I swapped in a 68 318 and a 72 904 auto. I used the Schumacher motor mounts. Any way, I cannot for the life of me get the linkage set up from the transmission to the shifter. I've got a Haynes manual. Its...

I am interested in the shift linkage - everything outside of the passenger compartment down to the transmission including the brackets on the transmission and frame rail. Give me a price if you're going to part it out. Thanks.

I was exhausted at this point. That's my excuse

I had to unbolt the ignition box from the passenger side inner fender in because the connector to the distributor was not long enough to reach. I didn't find a good place to bolt it down to, so I set it on the washer bottle. Would this cause the ignition loss? Does bolting it down create a...

I need some help. I drove my bother's Volare to the spot we did he swap at. Took the slant six and trans out. Today, put a 318 and auto trans in is place. I hooked up the coil and plugged the connector into the distributor, ran all the plug wires. There's air an fuel, but no spark. What have...

Some questions I have on your “changeover” - Using a /6 or small block K-frame? Car was a slant six but I put a small block K-frame in it. This way I could use the available motor mounts from Schumacher. - Going to get rid of rubber K-Frame biscuits? I'm going to be ordering poly replacements...

Thank you, sir. I feel pretty cool to have impressed a guy from Hollywood!

Ah! Someone noticed. It's out of a 2009 Corolla.

The 97 Mustang rear end is .75 inch wider than the stock rear end. This works out well to use a little wider wheel/tire but not run into the leaf spring. Not much different, but some.

yes it is. Its out of 97 Mustang GT
