I put a 8.8 out of a 93 crown Vic it's 64 1/2 inches wide its not even a 1/2 shorter than the stock 10 bolt. So I put the mini ladder bars on it went to the track and it wheel hoped so bad I snapped a axle and it drives like **** . Now I got the IMaximum Motorsports Torque-arm suspension system.
For a mustang and its bad *** drives way better going to the track next weekend and see what it does

Thanks Hiltsy, I had found the product but I'm curious to see how it fits an f-body.

Maybe just need a custom crossmember? Then how do you adjust pinion angle?

LT1RAY

I believe the pinion angle is adjusted by the two bolts that mount to the housing.

I think that's what all the shims are for. I looked into doing this but kind of pricey.

But pretty sure i could duplicate it for cheap

^This^ - If you can find a Crown Vic or Town Car with a 31-spline carrier this would be the ideal 8.8 swap. Older cars all had 28-spline from what I've found, but some newer ones had 31-spline.

Could always swap an explorer 8.8 31 spline carrier into those 8.8 housings. Im pretty sure mustang 8.8 are 2 inches narrower each side. But those brackets I used are only made for 3 inch or 3.25 in axle tubes , think mustang 8.8s are 2.75

Had the OP send me a few pictures of his setup. This is using the standard duty MM torque arm and a 28 spline 8.8 out of a Crown Vic on a 01 Camaro.

How did he bolt up the control arms ? Is it direct bolt ?

Most likely welded on f body brackets.

I could build that for about $50 or so . Might not be as pretty but it would work just as well lol!

This is my thinking as well. Maybe even offset it and use the factory torque arm location. Here's another one used in RX7 8.8 solid axle swap.
