I have a 2004 3.9 v6 mustang. I was thinking about an 8.8 or i might try to save money and just go with a traction lock. I know theres 3 different kinds for the v6; ford t-lock, detroit tru trac, and eaton i forget their brand. I hear that the eaton and detroit ones are stronger than ford;s.

Anyways how much they would be installed with 3.73's? or should i do 3.53?
Whats some good shops in the area?

Thanks

 

any one??????
atleast do you know any shops

 

It doesnt matter how much how much stronger they are if you are just going to put it behind a V6. I would just get the rear axle setup from a 99-04 GT and then have the rear end rebuilt maybe with some 3.73's. That would get your sixer a little more oomph. 3.55 gears are better than your stock ones but still 3.73's will give you more out of the hole. The six needs all the help it can get.

 

haha, ill see how the cash flow is, but ive always wanted a v8. i love the sound of it. or maybe ill save for 32 FORD with a 327? wow that would be nice. Im a college student so i had to buy the v6 to realistically be able to afford it. but thats

 

Stock t-loc will take a beating...will handle more than a stock 28 spline axle will

 

Bah, 327 is a chebby motor. They go in chebby's.

As for Ford, 331 or 347 if you want the small block with lots of goodies.

 

na i meant 427...same one thats in a shelby cobra...but its like 30k engine

 

whats a stock tlok? i have a 7.5 which isnt a posi

 

t-loc is ford traction-loc. Same thing as Posi-trac but in ford. Kind of like how ford has flare side trucks and chevy has step side trucks. Same thing, different name.


Ford Racing Traction-Loc

 

i heard the ford t-lok isnt as strong as the eaton or detriot truetrak
