dude with that big motor you will need a bigger torque converter, it may work fine if you dont stroke it, but with a 408 it will idle too high and not even flooring the break will stop you completely. and just take my work for it, you may not go out of control when you break that axle, but theres always a possibility that something bad could happen, take my word for it, the 7.5 is NOT enough for a 351 or a 408. theres a reason the STOCK 2.3's were given a 7.5 and the STOCK 5.0's were given a 8.8 in your years. if cant even handle a 302, why do you think it would handle a 351 nonetheless a 408?

i am in canada and my friends works at one of the places that pay 15/h and hes only 15 lol.......but i have a c4 auto with a stock torque converter, and autos assorb torque of the launch and shifts so it sounds pretty safe to me........and if the axle breaks it would just blow up on the line i've seen it b4.

i thought you got that tranny off the guy with you got the 351 from. if not it will most likely need a rebuilt with a bigger stall. again, you wont even launch 5 inches without snapping that axle

RE: rearend
ok man take a chill pill, just trying to help you make sure your car wont blow up
what you should do with that 7.5 axle is to clean it up and build a go cart frame and use that. do you still have that 2.3 engine?
would be a fun project
