here is a shot of my 8.8 all ready to rock with the welded 3.55 gears, and explorer center section, moser 31 spline axles and disk brake setup.

Gear swap for the supra

Ryan and I swapped out the rear gears I his supra from 4.27 to 3.91 I think sc300 diff

Built rear for thr fairmont

Picked up an already built rear for the Fairmont. 31 spline axles and diff. Frpp cover and brace

bendy 8.8 update, belt routing, and some other fun

8.8 swap control arms arrived

maybe we wil try to put this rear in tomorrow!?

malibu runs, and cools!

after getting all the hoses and radiator and etc to fit i got a fan from the junkyard, a 2 speed ford fan with a cowl and everything works awesome! fired the car and let it idle for almost 30 minutes and it took a while to heat up the coolant in the block even without the fan on, then just turning the fan on low speed it was able to easily cool the motor down to about 180f (stock tstat with 2 very small holes drilled in it) pretty happy with that! on top of the rear not being a drop in i figured i would go the 8.8 swap route so me and corey pulled a disk brake rear end out of the junkyard for this pig, and i bought swap upper A arms for it. very excited to have this go in.

steering, fuel, rear

installed the manual steering box today, also got the GN rear so i can swap that in, and installed the fuel tank and intercooler

built my 8.8 for the fairmont 2.0 tonight

hardened steel axles, seals, and the new bearings still on the old gearset. checked the backlash by hand! haha
