newtakeoff.com

they usually have the 8.8 axle from a GT with the flange you sixxer guys need to install. and they have a 3.73 or 4.10 gearsets available.

just under $1,000...I would do this route if I were you. Easier and cheaper long term IMO

The classic one wheel peel.

LSD, and no, not the drug.

There's this one by Ford Racing that I've been looking at for just a drop in replacement. It's a clutch style and not a viscous style LSD, so maintenance on it is less frequent
