Hello All, I have a 70 bumpside SWB that I am preping for a Crown Vic front end swap. I also have a 93 Mark VIII rear end, but now Im wondering if the crown vic rear end or 03 mustang cobra rear end might be better options.
I would like to end up with the 5.0 crate motor ($12,000) and AOD trans but I am concerned over two issues
1) My concern is the ride difference between the IRS VS the coil- link ?
2) I also have questions about the ability of the crown vic rear or the Mark VIII holding up with the 5.0.
any thoughts?
