Got the UMI Adj roto-joint uppers, solid lowers, control arm braces, adj shocks, and ATR sway bar back on. The new arms have been sitting in box since Nov. of 09! Just need to bolt my rusty exhaust back together and take it for a little test drive.

Jim at JD raceing and restoration in cleveland ohio, takes a LTD or gt mustang 8.8 chops the ford tubes off and put the 7.5 tubes ends on..
axle bearings are the same and set it to stock width of the Gbody.. 28 spline is 28 spline. i will be picking up some moser 28 spline alxes.. i have desided to adjust my uppers or pick up 8.8 conversion uppers
my stock drums will bolt on and nothing is custom one off persay.. all parts are avalible off the self axles, brakes, bearings, seals, etc.
so ford dif/center section everything else is is gm
250 for bare houseing
270 for axles and new wheel studs
150 for the complete gt axle that i will use the R&P carrier bought it off here..
80 new 1350 pinion yoke
>50 for a R&P install kit.
either covnersion u-joint or redo the rear u-joint on driveshaft
everythign else swaps over.
for under 800 you have a very good setup for a DD/mild street strip car. for less then it would be to rebuild a 7.5 in parts cost.
cheaper then currie 9" cheaper then rebuilt GN 8.5s or 12b conversions
havent been in his area with something other then a semi truck to pick it up yet

Installed my Alcohol carb and pump over the weekend, but then it rained so I'll have to wait before I try it.

^ So, carpeted the lower door panels, and "Folkenheath" on this site and I traded some parts. I ended up with some aluminum brake drums.
