just for ha ha's, anyone have an idea how hard it would be to swap in an 03/04 IRS set up instead of the solid axle. i know there will probably have to be some fab work, but just how much. how did ford go about doing it? or would i just be better off going to a 3 link?
reason i ask is a guy is willing to swap me his IRS out of his 03 cobra for my solid rear.

 

If it's straight up trade GO FOR IT! I don't believe there's any major fabbing at all beside drilling and perhaps grinding...

 

Hell, tell him I'll trade him! I already have the five lug!

 

there is a reason he wants to trade. IRS is for handling solid is much better for going fast and getting traction out of the hole.

 

i know the IRS is better for handling thats why i want it. i dont really care about going and setting a new best ET at the track, id rather go and set quicker lap times in SCCA events. im just seeing if it can be done and if so how much work im looking at.

 

shouldnt be too hard. the chassis is pretty much the same through the years

 

goona take some work
