Re: s-10 8.8 is HERE!!! pictures and info!!!

Was planning on a lot of strip and some street..I figure 3.73 or 4.10 gear ratio...31 spline c-clip would be fine as I only have a 350-400 horse motor. Or maybe a good aftermarket 28 spline posi and Moser axles for the 7.5 rear would probably work too.

Re: 12 Bolt for G Body

Not sure of the brake offset. I dont have brakes for a 12 bolt was just going to use the ford brakes that I have. I see brakes on the rear in the photo, are those with the rear?

Re: 10 or 12 bolt G-Body housing

Do you know what the difference would be from 8.8 to 8.5 as far as driveshafts. I heard you need a shorter one for the 8.5's.

Re: 10 or 12 bolt G-Body housing

1/4 and some 1/8. I will be running a powerglide w/ a 1.82 first gear. will be turning around 7000 rpm so i want either a 4.30 or 4.56 gear. The wagon will probably end up weighing around 3400 pounds.
I still have to measure the brake bolt pattern so i can tell you what housing ends to put on.
