Thread: big block s-10 conversion...

Tweet

78,

Instead of cutting up a rearend, why not look into a Ford Explorer rearend. It's a bolt in, and it's only an inch wider.

its really just a matter of finding one I already have the 8.5. so I can either spend the money to have that one I got narrowed or spend the money to buy the 9". I guess if the opertunity were to present itself I would rather buy the expolorer rearend. but ill work with what i got for now.

everyone at the race track said what everyone else has been tellin you.

thank you anyways. we got the diagram in from lemons headers and they told me how to do everything what i had to replace, what to replace it with, measurments, where to mount everything, they told me everything so where just going to do it like that for sake of time we'll have to get a little creative on a few things but for the most parts it LOOKS fairly easy. lol I know looks can be decieving though. well we start the conversion tommorrow so im gonna try to create a sort of how to with pics and stuff for other people since I couldnt find one anywhere. wish me luck ^_^

thank you everyone for your ideas and imputs it was appreciated and helpful.

Might be an old thread, but it was nice to see one of Mike's many helpful posts again. What a great guy he was.............RIP, bud.

We've lost so many good friends on here over the years.
