Default so happy im having an 8.8 built right now.

ordered it with a ford exploder 31 spline posi diff, moser axles, stock width, 3.55 gears to anticipate the turbo build and hell with gas prices save a little money. looking forward to hitting a track within the next couple weeks. time to ditch this 10 bolt.

good luck I'm building one myself right now also. Well haven't really got started yet. I have a foxbody rear and a donor 10 bolt in my garage right now. picking up some 4:10 tomorrow. getting everything ready for when i'm not working a shutdown and have time to do it. Although I was going to go with the 31 spline explorer diff but the rear i got came with a carrier so i'm gonna reuse it for right now with stock axles. but Mine is really just spirited street driving here in houston.

What are you doing about the T/A mount. Ive been asking metalurgist and experienced welders and am leaning on just welding one on. shouldnt be a problem
