:drool: I think your 85 is gonna handle insanely...

[DuceAnAHalf]

hopefully. the best part without bolts the brace and cover only weigh 5 pounds, which is amazing since it is 1/4" mild steel plate and 3/8' solid round stock.

When Can I pick mine up? :D

[DuceAnAHalf]

you gotta supply a cover because i never want to take another off they are pains in the ass.

that'll hold some torque :cool:

[DuceAnAHalf]

that is only part of the brace, once the torque arm is installed it will have mounts that are welded to the diff housing to distribute more force to the front of the stock

:bump:

Did you ever install this?

Is the T-bird diff cover the same as a 8.8? I thought the IRS was like a Dana axle or something...

[DuceAnAHalf]

nope, never did any more with it.

the MN-12 IRS is an 8.8

the cover is most likely getting armored and going on my brothers explorer for protection from rocks and such

[Grand Marquis GT]

It's an option for those going with an 8.8 in their handling cars.

I'm going with a 9" in GMGT.
