im going to be doing a build soon bought a rear for 100 bucks good condition so why not give it a try if it doesnt work junk it and bite the bullet and buy 12bolt or 9inch. ive seen alot of peoples torque arm brackets and some are nice some are scary and some are just impossible for the diy ls1tech'er...im going to leave the rear the way it is for now to see how this tq bracket will hold up if it holds up it will be a bolt on type that ive seen a couple companys make but with the side mount for the tq arm. ill keep it posted when i start working on it

why dont companies who can do fabwork start converting Ford 8.8's for use in f-bodies??? I mean... they could sell them for $1000+ and people would eat them up (myself included).
Couple questions. So far hows the ladder bar setup? Still working ok? Also did your mini ladder bars interfere with the bumpstops? After a load is put on the rear end it looks like the bump stops have like half an inch before they hit.

There is no contact with bumpstops and the ladder bars. It's all still working just fine no problems what so ever. My car is currently waiting on me to learn the ins and out of hp tuners and then let the real test begin.
i just got an 8.8 housing from a guy that already swapped the 10 bolt brackets over, so i'm just rounding up the internals to starting putting it together now. i'm getting a 31 spline trac-loc carrier that i'm going to rebuild with the cobra carbon fiber clutch packs, 4.10 gears, and moser 31 spline non-abs axles with the camaro lug pattern drilled in. i'll be doing the mini ladder bar set-up as well. should have it in the car by the end of the year.

I'm still waiting on my buddy to pull his rear end out of his parts car, but after that I should make some progress and have some pics up. I don't have any funds for the axles and everything else, but I have a spare 10 bolt so I can get all of the fab work done
