Default Rear End Shop?

So... Im saving up to buy a crate engine for the mustang. The one Im looking at should be putting out about 400hp or so. The TKO will handle it without any issues, but im thinking I should get the rearend built up. Any body know of any good shops in the area?

Northwest Differentials in Kirkland is the shop of choice on this forum. Danny will take good care of you.

Northwest diff in Kirkland, you pull the rear we can bring it over in my truck and stop at Hooters on the way home.

What happened, why the crate motor?

Stop by and check out my cam.

Nothing happened...I just figured Id put my tax return to good use...It will be a while before I have enough for everything... I need to decide what heads/intake combo to go with as well... Ill stop by sometime next week after school...

How much would I be looking at to spend on a rear end that will handle the 400+ hp/tq?
Ideally I want an engine that puts out close to 400 and then throw on a 100 shot later down the road.

You want a real good rear end? A nine inch, at leat 2000 grand, but you have an 8.8 right? I thought those were pretty good? There was a guy at work that goes 11.90s with his. I should hook you two up he has a bunch, I mean a bunch of Fox body parts.

A spool with some gears and if you want to spend some extra cash on some nice axles in a 8.8 will get the job done.

Your 8.8 will work fine. Get some hardened axles and some Lakewood slapper bars to keep it from twisting. Anyone can install axles. I've run 11's with mine for years, in fact, this car is the second fox the same 8.8 has been in.
