    Sweet, ima try to do a 8.8 swap soon.

    So what would be the best ideal 8.8 car to get the rear from?

    Looks like all I would really need is the rear end, custom axles, and weld on the tubing for the springs and torque arm if I dont do the ladder bar.
    Am I correct?

    Problem is you can't weld on a tq arm bracket because the pumpkin is cast iron. That was tried many times and failed, you have to build a bracket and bolt it on.

    Thats fine,
    one of my buddies dad is a welder and he said he would help out in any way.
    But in all honestly doesnt seem that hard to do, I thought this was going to be much tougher.

    Tq arm is totally optional at this point, i like the ladder bar design aswell. the only problem you may run into is if you run at Ltx shootout you may have to run in a class that accepts altered suspension beyond factory spec.
