IRS sucks for drag dude, Ford 9"/8.8 Spool/ C clip elims, etc. , unless your into road racing, especially with the new Cobra's, they are capable of making decent power to the ground with mods(500-800-maby1000) on stock blocks, but give them any traction and even the beefed up half shafts go BOOM! Power without traction equals loss!!!!

CBRTRX: Why dont you go pack sand somewhere? I'm sure the correctional system is missing you

as I said this is for my friend as I have the swap done already, it all depends on what you are looking for in a car, he might be selling it outright instead though if he finds a solid cheap
