That's true you would have to do the ford axle ends then

I think I'm going to give him a call or txt if possible and see what he can do. I'd like to have the bigger axle tubes batting that I have a 6 speed car. Is the number on his FB a cell#?

How much did the axles cost you? I'm gathering up parts for a 8.8 build. A guy I know said he paid $360 for his Moser axles with 4 channel abs.

Has anyone ran an ARB on one of these yet? I also wonder how well they hold up behind a 6spd car?

Yeah, Josh seems to be a great guy, I've been texting him a bit, he's very helpful. I ordered an ultimate 8.8 cover and back brace package today. I guess I'm committed now, lol lol!

Yep, Josh is a good guy and does great work. He's built many, many F-Body 8.8's.

So does anyone know if it's possible to keep LT1 brakes and do c clip eliminators with the 7.5 axle tubes?

Cool thread, car looks great! When do you get your rear wheels mounted? That front shot of the car with the skinnies on looks killer!

^^ love your car, brother, can't wait to see you finish up with it. What drag setup are you going to run in the rear?
