V6 to GT rear end swap?
How difficult of a process is this? What do I need to fully complete this swap, and do I need to get a re-tune for my SCT? What is the normal price range for a 8.8" out of a salvage yard? Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks guys!

Welcome to the site.
It's a direct swap if you stay within your cars generation, do a search, this issue has been discussed almost weekly. |
You can find one for around $300-600 generally. It is a direct swap in. No need for a retune.
|
The only time you will have a problem is when you get a 8.8 out of a 94-98, the upper control arm bolt is a 12mm on 94-98 and on a 99-04 8.8 it is a 14mm.
Someone correct me if im wrong but Im pretty sure Im right. |
Lower Control arm mount is a 12mm bolt in 94-98, 14mm in 99-04
|
On that note---Is the width the same on 94-98 and 99-04?
|
it's like 1/2" or 1" short something like that.
|
the older ones are 1" shorter OVERALL, so 1/2" spacers are needed on each end to compensate.
