    Progress Thread Reviving The Cobra Ii

    Hi everyone, just wanted to say hi as I get started on my 76 II again. Little backstory, I got my 76 Cobra II when I was in high school, drove it around for 4-5 years and then parked it as I started driving long distances and needed something a bit more practical. Well, fast forward 10 years...

    05-06 rear into a 96

    I have a 96 gt and I need to get some work done on the rear end, the bearings are bad I believe. I found a rear end out of a 05/06 mustang that is a 8.8 and am curious if this can be a direct bolt in or if it will be more trouble then just replacing the bad stuff? Thanks Dan

    Rear End Rebuild

    Cleavland In a II?

    Anyone know if it has ever been done? I might possibly be able to get a good deal on a 351 cleavland and I already have a T-5. Just curious if anyone here has ever tried this or even know if it is possible(I guess anything is possible.) Do you think it would be worth it or would I be better...
