I have just disasembled my Ford 8" rear diff out of the 74 Mutt 2. I would like to hear from guys who have already accomplished this mod and have it running in their Alpines now.
Questions: Did you shorten each tube & how much?
What did you do for the parking brake?
What gear are you running & is it a Posi?
What gear ration?
Who shortened your axles?
What disc brakes have you found to work etc.?
I hear a lot of guys speculate on how they will do something now I would like to hear success stories with what will work. The thing about using a Tiger Dana is you still have those Rootie Tootie hubs,etc to deal with when you need to change bearings & seals. Once their off maybe next time wont be as bad but it might so why not go with the old faithful Ford 8"?Look forward to all the input and Jose please feel free to add your wisdom.
