ok well the 8.8 is under the car any tips to lining it up? i'm havein some trouble

[MG Stang]

Get a helper...that would make life a lot easier if you're by yourself.

As far as lining it up... jack the rearend up and wrestle w/ it. Get the uppers connected first then its easy.

Im putting in my 8.8 on the 7th of july. Any hints. Im hoping to get it done in a day. I got 2 helpers so it shouldnt be too hard. Any problems you ran into?

[Suprman]

Thanks. The guy thats helping me has already done this once so hopefully it wont be too bad. He put it in his 97 stang. Im also changing upper and lower control arms to aftermarket ones at same time.

yup, the gears go in this weekend, and the rear end a few days later. go to the v6power tech articles and the speedo gears you need are listed there. :clickboo:

and i don't know what you were talking about on the last line.
