Long story short bought an 8.8 from a member here that was from a mustang and was cut down already and came with Fbody axle tubes, so i jumped on it. Didnt see the bearing caps in the pic but didnt think about it. Recieved the caps and contacted the seller and he isnt responding anymore. I have heard you cannot mix caps but i dont know for sure. Can anybody chime in and help me or am i screwed?

I have a steel drive shaft already im not worried about the DS just YET...
Hiltsy you wanna send me your paypal again im gonna buy your TA bracket kit and see if I can make it work on the mustang housing. Ill send ya details when i get if finished up.
I do have to turn my axle tubes down to slide into the 8.8 and sugestions besides throwin them on a lathe and turning them down?

My cousin with a lathe is gonna turn down the tubes for me, unfortenatly he cant get to them for a couple of weeks.
Go do some digging their is half a dozen or so 8.8 builds on the first couple of pages, Just got to see what you can find and like it.
