    There is a choice of 3 ratio's 1.6:1, 1.7:1, and 1.8:1. stocks 1.5:1 so would probably not go much higher then the 1.6:1 ratio as I will use cam to make up lift/duration. I am thinking stage 2 but worried about vacuum in the low RPM range as Dan has mentioned, machinist (Brad) doesn't feel that...

    I have also read that the 7.5 ford rear end will not handle 250HP for very long. I'm wondering if I'm not better with the 8.8. Has anybody installed the 8.8? Will it fit or is the housing too large and better going with 7.5 and beefing up carrier and get hardened axles to handle extra HP

    I have been looking for a 7.5" rear axle and can get either 9 or 10" brakes and would like to upgrade rim diameter to 15" along with disc brakes. Has anybody used the 7.5 rear end and converted over to disc brakes and if so what size of rotor dia will work with 15" rims

    It would be nice if the one that came in the car could handle the extra horse power and could be a limited slip then I would not have to change out hubs/axles to match bolt patterns on wheels

    I haven't got that far yet. I have been looking for a Ford 8 inch but they hard to find being an older version. I would prefer the 8 inch as apposed to the 8.8 inch but might have to settle for 8.8 as there are lot more out there to chose from. The 8 inch housing is just a little smaller in...
