starting my street car build, im new to older mustangs. motor will lowside 500 + hp. i thinking about rebuilding the 8 inch rearend that came in the car. is it possible for a 8 inch to handle that much power with stronger axles, gears, & locker ? i have a 8.8 housing that i can resort to using but i will have to completely build it with all new parts, both axles locker n gears, just weeks before i purchased this 65 fastback, i sold all the new in box parts for the 8.8 thinking i was never going to use it again. ( yea how stupid do i feel now).
so will it be worth the time to build this 8 inch or will it just explode after a little abuse?
