This is the rear end I bought that was supposedly capable of being just bolted right in. It's sitting next to the stock rear with 3.08's. Right after a nice couple coats of paint.
I installed all of the new Cobra R brake parts on the rear end alon with some StopTech braided stainless steel flex lines and a MAC rear end girdle. At this point I was just going to keep the rubber upper bushings.
I sprayed in rear wheel wells with rubberized undercoating.
Here is when I was putting it in, attached to the car with the old KYB shocks, new Maximum Motorsports Extreme Duty Adjustable LCA's, reinforced new Ford Racing UCA's, and generic lowering springs.
I also installed a Maximum Motorsports firewall adjuster and an MM clutch quadrant.
I'll post up some more pics tommorrow.

Just some black Rustoleum for the underbody and rear end, then some black rubberized undercoating by a company that I think is called 3M. Both from a spray can.

The new Cobra booster next to the stock fox booster, huge difference.
After painting the booster, cutting about 3/8" off of each stud, and cutting a nice 3"x7" notch out of the driver's side strut tower it finally goes in.
When the MC and lines are all hooked up.
I also pulled out the new tremec t-5 and replaced the speedometer drive gear and driven gear for 3.71:1 rear end gear calibration.
New stainless steel hardlines were installed everywhere except the front to back hardline. The new proportioning valve was disabled and an adjustable proportioning valve was installed near the passenger side hood hinge. Rather than have it floating there I threw together a little bracket for it, made from 1/8" steel.
I really need to clean that dirt off the engine bay.... in time.
