DIY: Ford 8.8" Differential Swap
#31
Any updates?
Would like to get info on the axle setup. Just picked up an 8.8 out of a Lincoln MKVIII for $30, now I just have to figure out how to do the axles.
I was thinking about contacting DSS and purchasing the stub shafts and the inner cage, then either respline the stock supra shafts or purchase some raw 300m bar stock and having splines cut on both ends.

he is referring to the slightly larger 6 speed diff which is a hair larger than the auto / SC diff's.
Still I would use a SC diff and call it a day it will hold more than a stock 8.8 diff or even a built one.
ratios seems to be the only advantage but I haven't hear of anyone needing close or longer ratios than we have available, maybe at the drag track I could see it being more useful.
