It's OK..after some grinding, I think it'll be just fine. The only thing I have left to do is make a small dent in my exhaust and paint the spot where I ground down the crossmember. I also had to enlarge the bolt holes just slightly.

Well it's in and the brakes have been bled. I didn't have time to get it down and take it for a ride, but when I tried the wheels on the car (315's) they rubbed pretty badly. I can't imagine I'd need a spacer for this rear, correct? Again, this is with it in the air and no load in the suspension.

Eric said any 80/90 would be fine as long as it isn't synthetic. He did suggest to stop at a Ford Dealer and get their anti-slip additive though. I bought 4 quarts of the 80/90 and the additive at my local Ford dealer for $24. Very inexpensive I thought. I read on another site that the Ford gear oil is excellent compared to the off brands you see at the auto parts stores and it is specifically made for Ford designed rear ends.
I've got about 60 miles on mine now and am going to lift the car up and go over every bolt to make sure everything is still as it should be. Otherwise, I finally got on it a little yesterday and it seems great. No gear noise at all. The Strano suspension is excellent as well. I;m not sure I'll be able to get to the track one more time this year. I'll try though.
