Anybody wanna swap your solid axel for my IRS? Or sell it outright?

[OH3MGSVT]

I have an offer for my IRS only problem is I dont have a rear end to put in place of it. Im looking for a good condition solid axel 8.8 I can swap into my 03 Cobra, let me know if you have one to swap straight over or have one for sale, or know anyone that has one, thank you!

unless your all about drag racing keep the IRS. its one of the best features of the 03-04 cobra. and also note, if you do swap, you will need to swap exhaust aswell. i say dont do it!

Alex, I never got any good info btw.

Sorry bud, I will keep trying!

Thanks guys, I have actually done this swap before on my GT with a friends 99 Cobra, not too difficult of a swap in reality, though I like the IRS, I dont like worrying about destroying the axles/halfshafts.. it would be more of a piece of mind if anything. Plus I plan to take my car to the track more frequently once I get a few mods on the car. Thanks Chris I got the info I needed! Thanks for trying though!!

Besides, Burntire did a solid axle swap and we all know the benefits he gained from that, plus I look up to him he's my idol :icon_razz:

The day I swapped in a solid and shitcanned the IRS in my Terminator was one of the happiest days in my hotrodding life.

Funny the Cobra guys would kill for a SA and all the GT guys want IRS. Too bad we can't have both. :bounce:

Yeah I actually liked going IRS in my old 2000 Mustang Gt, but yeah now I want a solid axle, hopefully we can get this thing going and have 2 satisfied stang owners!

Let me know if you find anyone with a 99-04 sold axle.. I am in need of one myself.. you wouldn't be interested in a 99-04 solid with Strange 33 spline axles, welded axle tubes, 4.56 gears and Strange full spool would you? its a drag rear end for sure..lol

Here's a complete rear for $250. http://phoenix.craigslist.org/wvl/pts/2860468344.html

When I did mine DTS (in Detroit) built me a complete unit with FRPP 3.73s and diff cover, Eaton diff, and Strange axles shipped to my door for a little less than 2 grand if I remember correctly.

I believe the 99-04 rears have their one size.. the -98 ones are narrower flange to flange

[BurnTire]

98 and earlier are 3/4" shorter per side for a total of 1.5 compared to the 99+. The IRS is about 1" narrower than a 99 solid axle.

[Wharf Rat]

Forgot about the width difference. Now that I think about it don't some people run the 94-98 axle intentionally to fit more tire under the car???

Mine was 99+ width but with GT brake brackets so I could run 15 inch wheels.

I have a 98 width in my car.

Sad but true. If I could only have ONE mod on a Terminator it would be between a pulley/tune or a solid and I'd go with the solid without a doubt.

:goodidea: Agreed. Ill have a solid soon enough, and Ive been looking at Turbo kits more and more lately too, that will be a final mod that I will do in the distant future

Well since I already have the pulley and tune and only next step is a Solid (besides a Twin screw blower)
