dude, your using english, and its making you appear even more dumb than i thought. why do you think i put the 8.5" in there as an option. there is no stipulations as to what can go in yet. 8.8's are more readily available and cheap. thats why i mentioned it. if this is going to be a makes battle, then yes, i would like the chassis and powertrain of the same manufacturer...the rear end, injectors, etc, i could care less about.

just let it go man. ford guys have always been that fucked up. they just don't know any better...


and the injector thing made me laugh. i had a 19lb gm that i though was bad and swapped out a ford one. it wasn't it but later that night i beat a mustang and a ford friend of mine was like so, you only won because you have ford parts on your car. and sad to say he wasn't joking around.

i also took a stock ford crank which is smaller than a stock gm one. the ford one is about the same size as the aftermarket underdrive pulley for my car. so i just redrilled it to fit. i got shit every damn time I'd beat someone in a close race saying it was because i had ford parts.

Well, why don't you use that and stick to your own damn car manufacturer? Really, the friggin rear end of a car is a major component, and if ya'll use a Ford rear end, then...pfft, you're just proving a point.

the point is... your a retard



how about because a old 10bolt from a 2nd gen Fbody is just as strong as a one from a fox body and just as many laying around. god knows every damn ford posi would just spin one tire...lol.

but with that said the 8.8 is narrower and all ready set up for leaf springs. its just easier because of less shit to weld on but not better.

Dammit, I can't argue with that one; but still, I think a good rule to add would be to make everyone stick to their own car manufacturer? Just an idea.

well you have to figure, basic upgrades for some cars deal with other peoples stuff. DSM guys love using our out of date MAFT's. Supra guys take our TH400's, powerglides, TH350's, and 12 bolts.

aslong as the chassis and powertrain are the same then sure, i dont care...but the rear end? what performance value does that provide? longevity, yes, but any rear can get a spool practically, any rear can be welded for a live axle, and gears a plentiful for all of them. but even the manufacturers do that crap, T56's...chrysler, ford, and gm all use em...the Dana rear ends, i know GM and Chrysler use em..

That whole mess with him was retarded. Rearend just plants the power. It will be our Chevy model. Chevy 327. Chevy Tranny. Ahh who cares. Do as we need to. If someone has a 9" laying around than use it, if we got an 8.5 use that, 8.8 would be prefered. If your worried about longivity, than get the aftermarket Non tapering Axles for the 8.8inch. And, it will be funny if we do have a 9" laying around, and the Ford guys say thats why we won, because it sucks up alot more HP than an 8.8 does.
