8.8 Build
Which vehicle and year would come with 28 spline and 4.10's ??
I'm looking at using that center section, welding the 10 bolt axle tubes onto it, and reusing the 10 bolt axles...

I don't think any years came with 4.10s but the 28 spline center section comes in all mustang 8.8s aside from the 03-04 cobras but they have IRS so the housing is useless to you.
i have a explorer rear end that has a 3:73 and 31 spline axles i was wanting to put in my t/a wuts the diff between the mustang rearend and the explorer rear dimension wise

If you just use a 28 spline Ford posi, just make sure your new rear is the same width as a stock F-body 10bolt and reuse your stock F-body axles. I did the same thing a few years back and ran 9.80's before I finally broke the stock 10bolt axle at the track. The setup worked very well but I ended up trading it with a friend, built a new Moser 12bolt since I needed gears, axles spool etc...
only a few guys are running the t/a setup which i might do or just go to a full ladder setup. If you weld the housing you are supposed to use a nickel rod. I guess their a few guys out their that migged theirs on. I can do ethier or but i just happen to be lazy and may mig it.
This way it's really just swap the axle tubes and weld this on, then fill the housing with your choice of components and go to town.....Personally I'm going to go with a Strange Diff (clutch type LSD) with 33 spline axles and c-clip eliminators. That should hold up to just about anything a little ole LTx can throw at it....
where did u get the bracket? where can i buy one? is it made for the 8.8 or something that we will have to make work?I'm pretty good at fabrication and have been thinking about going with this set up.Info would be wonderful!
Has anybody thought about using the aftermarket mustang torque arms they have that are made for the 8.8? Looks like it would be a very easy set up, get the 8.8 pumpkin, weld on your factory tubes, mount the torque arm to the diff and weld the front mount in somehow, probably to a piece of tube between your sfc's. Should be pretty simple unless I'm missing something...
Now planning to find an explorer rear with 4.10/4.56 (31 spline) and just get custom axles from Moser. Would cost about the same anyway since I'd have to buy gears for a Mustang rear....and still be weaker with the 28 splines.
What exactly are you all using to weld the tubes on and the TA mount??
Also still reading up on whether to weld a torque arm mount or to go with a ladder bar setup. Thoughts?

That small of a weld would rip off the lca with any hard launches
would this short arm setup be good for a 10bolt? im swapping in a lsx/th350 in a 94 camaro and im contemplating switching to a short arm setup. i would box the stock ones and weld tabs to the rear end (as well as weld the axle tubes). how long should i make the top set of arms be?
