Hey fellas,
Just picked up a 2007 GT 8.8 rear end for my 2007 V6
I purchased the 03-04 cobra flange PN: M-4851-B

i hear this is the flange you need to make this a direct, is that the correct part number,
i have also heard people saying that their drive shaft was too short to reach the flange.
any confirmation would be highly appreciated.

Also, my car does not have a rear sway bar, Does my V6 have mounting points to fit the gt sway bar?

I'm also curious if i will need GT rotors and calipers, OR will my V6 rotors and calipers mount right up to the GT caliper mount BRACKET on the 8.8 rear end
i have stock 17" wheels

I am eternally grateful for any help with the long *** list of questions,
also i know "Should just buy a GT"
but i much prefer building it up with my son.

SO i got off my lazy *** and crawled under the car and found i do in fact have rear sway bar end link brackets on the chassis, PHEW!

BOOM!

that video covered my question about brakes and rotors, however says absolutely nothing about changing the pinion flange.

Yes it did: he said SPECIFICALLY at 2:22:
"The 8-8 rear end had a larger drive flange than the stock rear end. New take-off dot-com provided
the correct size flange, and BJ replaced it in no time."

AND! It shows him putting the flange ON!!

How on EARTH did you miss that? Christ....

With the flange swap it is a direct fit. The driveshaft will fit because the 8.8 mounts exactly the same as the 7.5; there is no difference in length.
