[@MustangGuy6501]

Great video man, torque box reinforcements came today thanks again boss 👍 and the surprise was awesome I have the perfect place for it!

[@Neomustangs]

Hell ya man!

[@ogsuperflygarage]

Great video! Excellent information!

[@benjamincompian2562]

Texas is in the house Turning and Learning. Trying to get my shit off the Jacks

[@Neomustangs]

Hell ya !

[@mustangmike4078]

Just dropped 3:73's into the 8.8 in my E-150. It's definitely a little job but well worth it. Whatever your driving you got hotrod that mofo!

[@FORDMAT77]

Just recently done this to my 8.8, swamped gears and did a rebuild, had to replace 1 axle. Now I need to do c-clip eliminaters

[@thomsoncarter3121]

Awesome, I almost have all my parts to build my 8.8 for 84 gt 350. Thanks for the motivation!!

[@mchristr]

Get out the cutting wheel or plasma cutter and whack those quad-shock brackets. They're worthless and just get in the way. FYI, there are some renowned road course chassis shops who have been racing Fox-bodies for decades and don't weld the tubes to the center housing. Thanks for posting.

[@Neomustangs]

100% needs welded. Thanks for the input tho!

[@imafraidofbears1599]

decades of doing it wrong lol

[@frederickhairston3823]

Good evening here chatter from rear gears what's all needed to fix. Replaced axle bearings months ago little play in carrier.

[@kevinhamer6053]

Man I can't wait to see the Dyno video

[@strokermaverick]

Thanks, for making it look simple.

[@Neomustangs]

Just a basic intro of what we used for a temp axle.

[@six50motors]

Let's go I believe it's an 85 svo rear brakes brakes for the rotors

[@Neomustangs]

Ya or 10.25” cobras?

[@benjamincompian2562]

Thaks Bro

[@prohero57]

Great video man. Good info.

[@Neomustangs]

Appreciate it!

[@paulhudgins5120]

Very nice, a straight rear end housing should serve you well, what gears are you running?

[@Churchill302]

Speaking of that red coupe. BREW2L has the Poop Coupe, Foxcast has the Crotch Notch. I say you should call it the Junk Trunk.

[@thomsoncarter3121]

Have any thoughts on cut down aluminum explorer 8.8 covers on mustangs?

[@Neomustangs]

Excellent budget mod. Im going to try that one

[@fifteen8]

So which axles did you use? Which would you recommend for a sub-500 rwhp car? Is 31-spline a must? Thanks in advance.

[@Neomustangs]

Yes 31 spline past 350 - 400

[@LynnTwinCustoms513]

I need to do this on my car has a nice growl coming from the rear.

[@Neomustangs]

For sure thats gears.

[@lamarrichardson1782]

Love it 👍

[@Neomustangs]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@justinschmidt9180]

Good video. Did you ever dyno the car yet

[@Neomustangs]

We did. Had issues. Gonna post video anyways

[@StaceyWilson-Pye]

great content, question i found an 02 ranger 8.8 with 410 gear 31 spline diff and Lock, I can use this in my fox rear end correct?

[@Neomustangs]

Diff I do believe. The axles no. They are probably same as explorer axles and are too big

[@MF-rn5os]

I know LMR sells the rear drums however what drum do you use.

[@Neomustangs]

Ranger ones from the parts store. Same 9” drum 83-92

[@Riffs_Garage]

Hey Dan, how tight do you set the backlash on stick shift car?

[@Neomustangs]

10

[@michaellafreniere5083]

Waiting for dyno video.. seems like years Waiting!!!

[@Neomustangs]

Because there’s been issues man …

[@netero3233]

Do you build any 8.8s for 600-800+ hp or do you go 9” at that point?

[@Neomustangs]

We will be doing that exact video when axle is fixed

[@JST4CYL]

​@@Neomustangs - I'll be watching for it!

[@SethStang_]

what upgrades were done to this rear end?

[@Neomustangs]

gears, rebuild diff and modified tubes... its in the video...

[@SethStang_]

@@Neomustangs ok yeah the title confused me that those upgrades were what made it handle 400 hp, good video. Currently rebuilding my rear end as well.

[@Teckenrode-1960]

Im here cuz i have a ranger with a 8.8.

[@lancesimpson6145]

Can you share where together the information on the sn-95 rear disc brakes install?

[@Neomustangs]

Ill just do it on the channel with a mock up axle. Its pretty easy but does take some know how.

[@lancesimpson6145]

@@Neomustangs thank you sir

[@pimpovic2]

Wait, no more EEEEEEEEE? 😂

[@glennramsey917]

Im not believing that axle you just built will only hold up to 400hp … maybe 400 hp for years to come but id say it would last a season or two with alot more hp depending on if the car launched violent or if it launched smooth n easy off the line then made alot more of hp after it was rolling (30-50mph) say 1000 or more hp .. Feel free to correct me if im wrong its not a debate just a conversation .. thats how we learn !!!!

[@Neomustangs]

The whole purpose of the video was just a show a budget minded, 8.8 rebuild with upgrade shown to those that may not understand it. I have no doubts. It would probably hold more power. I only put a number on there to help relate.

[@glennramsey917]

@@Neomustangs you done a fine job !!!
