Who would be interested in an 8.8 torque arm rear?
I am throwing together some ideas with a sponsor for a very strong, fabricated torque arm mount for the 8.8 rear. No welding and very minimal fabrication on the end-user's part. Who would be interested? (Torque arm will not have ground clearance issues, like the Mustang torque arm aftermarket.
I can't go into much detail, but those interested in this swap, what options would you prefer? Please use the poll for feedback.

This set-up would cost considerably less than a Ford 9, We're looking at targeting the market for budget go-fast rear ends that don't cost $2500 out the door. Please select what type of linkage system you'd prefer, either spherical rod-end or poly bushed, the poll is multiple choice Both will be available should this kit become available.

i was launching my 02 gt with fullish bolt ons at 3500 rpm on stock axles w/4.10s and drags...i dont think anyone can say that with a 10bolt
and op: just go with whatever is cheaper since everyone would be using it as a sort of budget build anyways...

You got any plans drawn up yet. I'm gonna be putting the same setup in my TA. I make my own phb, control arms, & all. I'm also gonna make a trq arm ta go with my setup. I'd thought about selling some aswell. I've seen a lot of interest in these setup's. The 8.8 is a very durable rear. I work at a fab shop and just can't buy something when I can make it. We do laser cutting, welding, machining and all. Let me know if I can help ya out.

Plug and play 8.8 swap is my vote. As much as I want MWC rear, the cost is just too much. The S60 is a good option but still steep. If a bolt up 8.8 set up could be obtained for around $1500-2000 I think you would make a killing.
Good luck on this venture and I will be very curious to see how this plays out.
