    Any idea why these would be inside an 8.8?

    i agree, the friction disk tabs, it wont hurt anything if they break off, as long as you get them out soon enough, wont affect the trac-lok, but while youre in it you might as well rebuild it for another 45bucks.

    Front Sway bar?

    my car is suspension is stock, and my swaybar is disconnected but not removed, it doesnt seem to roll that bad, but it does pick the front end up quite a bit on a launch, which is good for traction. and as someone else said, the front end does wander fiercely without it. im going to hook mine up...

    how much oil

    too much oil in the crancase will cause windage, which aerates(adds air to) the oil, and causes it to foam. this will cause air to be pumped throught the system and a volume lose without an indication especially at higher rpms. it could be detrimental.

    Gt 40 Intake

    right, the explorer, cobra, and gt40s are all practically the same, just cosmetically differant. i for one prefer the looks of the explorer, but thats b/c they arent as common on a fox.

    245/45 17's on a 17x9??

    the diff. between the 245 and 255 is only 10mm, so if a 255 looks ok on a 9" rim why would a 245 be so bad?????? i run the 245s on my 17x9 chrome cobra Rs, and havent had a problem. 245mm is actually 9.65inches. so dont worry about the 245s being too small. go with the tire you like the best...

    Whats different about the 1987 shortblocks vs mine (94-95)

    no, the only diff in 86 and an 87 is the smaller throttle body on the 86. both have E7 heads, both have the same cam. both have forged pistons.
