What would be the best way to upgrade my rear on my fox? after this resto im not really gonna have enough $$ to do a 5 lug conversion but im deffinatly doing disk brakes. as for the axel i want to get somethin like a detroit locker and 3.73 gears min. what kinda money am i looking at and how should i do it? i got a 7.5" now and i want an 8.8 or 9" cause im gonna have a 351 and hopefully lots of power. should i get a currie crate rear end, junkyard 8.8" and put in the gears and locker myself or what? thanks

RE: Rear End
31 spline axles and diff.If you have the ability, rebuild it your self or have a shop do it. Stick with the 8.8, 9 inch is expensive. If you're looking for a good company that makes nice rear end components, check out Strange Engineering.
