I have an 8.8 on my pickup and I think it should be good, I haven't had it on the road yet but they sure are popular for Hot Rods. My first ranger rearend had drum and my Explorer one has disks on the back. I think the disks are more common and I'm not sure how the rear disk front drum combo would work. I think I would make it a priority to switch the fronts over to disks right away. I have a brother that had drums on the front of his Chevelle and he always fought those things till he put on front disks.
