8.8 with TCS/ASR question
ok i have a 98 SS with Traction control so a 4 channel abs setup and i would like to keep everything functional. im going to use an 8.8 rear from a mustang with an explorer differential..
I AM NOT GOING TO CUT THE TUBES AND USE 10 BOLT ONES
the rear will have Moser axles and the wheels will be 15x10 with a 5.5" backspacing to accommodate the 2" narrowed rear.
all i need to know is how can i make the TCS work? possibly with F-body brakes and have Moser send me axles with the proper abs wheel?
also what would my options be on deleting the TCS etc. i know id have to get a prop valve for the rear to keep them from locking up.

You need a bit more research on the 8.8 conversion. In order to use f body brakes you will need to change the ends to GM (welding required) you would need to use Explorer,Crown Vic or Cobra brakes, any will require redrilling the bolt pattern if you ever plan to run on stock wheels.

OK im trying to avoid cutting the tubes, using cobra brakes and a ford bolt pattern is OK by me.. its going to be 2" shorter per side so i couldnt use oem wheels if i wanted to. id end up using some 15x10 5.5" backspacing wheels with a ford bolt pattern
