Hi Mark VIII guys,
First post here and soon to be in possession of my first Mark. I will picking up a 98 next week and driving it home from Vegas to MN. Since this car is going to be a street cruiser in the summer and bracket car also I have already started my parts search for the planned upgrades. One of the first items on the list is to make it a trac lok and put in 4:10's.
Since I do not have the car yet is there a way to know if the car has a trac lok or an open diff by using the vin. I need to get the axel code from my buddy who picked the car up for me and he has been out of town.
So say it is an open dif can I buy any 8.8 ford trac lok and put my gears on it? I also recall reading there are special cut gears for the these rear Independent suspensions. Where is the best place to locate a set a 4;10'sand trac lok?
The main plans are:
4:10's trac lok
9.5 3200 stall convertor..........who should I source this from?
sct custom 93 oct tune..........who is the go to tuner for these?
x pipe duals and cat delete
26" drag radials
