I know I know...there are a ton of these but i've gotten conflicting views on a few things.
1) My driveshaft. Do I need a V8 one or will the length of my 4 cyl one work. I need new U joint and before I spend the money on the 4 cyl ones I want to make sure i'm not throwing it away in a month or two. ADvance auto has different ones listed.
2) Pistons
a) How do you tell the diff between forged and hypers? I have an 88 GT motor so it should be forged but this is a weird motor I got ad don't trust anything to be correct.
b) It was missing one piston and have found two others to be shot. Can these be bought from Ford and anyone have any ideas how much?
c) If I go with hypers will they hold 300rwhp NA and 400rwhp on NOS?
3) Rear End. I know it won't hold for too long but until my wallet says' it's ok i'm doing a 7.5 with 3.73's. I got a posi unit for it. Any way I can beef it up for now and are there any rebuild units for it?
TIA
