    Mustang Restomod...Part II....diff upgrade




    Okay Carnut how hard is it to add a Torsen T2R and upgrade to 31 spline axles.

    I've re-geared Dana 30's, 44's and AMC Model 20 diff's in the past w/ much success.

    I've watched 8.8's being re-geared. but didn't pay attention to details enough to do it myself.

    I've seen pinion depth gauge equipment used, but is it also necessary to use a spreader tool ? I don't have one of those.

    It depends upon the ring gear and carrier size, probably. You can probably make one from steel angle and threaded rod.

    You have a Ford service manual don't you?

    If you have have done other integral carrier differentials, the 8.8 should be easy.

    I have the GT500 service manual on disk.

    I guess that would be very similar if not the same?

    I'll look deeper into it and put my questions here so they don't get lost in Joe's PWing.

    Here is a pretty good write up. http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/...d.php?t=144780

    And here is one that supposedly had videos although I did not view them. http://www.badshoeproductions.com/rear.html

    That's a really nice write-up !!

    FRPP also has these brief instructions for gear swaps.

    Get working on 31 spline axles and install kit for me since I know it takes you months.
