8.8 IRS info needed

January 07, 2008, 03:54:02 PM

well i dont NEED the info but i was just wondering what you guys know about them and if they go in our cars easily or with lots of modifications.

see i've spent a lot of time reading on a miata forum where they use an 8.8 IRS. i didnt even know about the 8.8 IRS but i did know that there was an IRS ford rear end in a jaguar. is that where this comes from or did other cars under the ford badge come with it?

I'm not too interested in putting IRS in my car, i mean im not trying to build a race car, its just transportation to me (if i wanna go fast, i get a fast weekender that doesnt weight like what 2 tons?) but this did intrigue me.

on a side note, is there a locker or limited slip unit that will go into our 7.5's with stock power with aod that is reliable?

ford has three versions of IRS that use the 8.8

mn12
cobra
explorer

the cobra unit can fit our cars with relative ease.

the jag/dew98 IRS is an 8.0 ring gear. completely different

there are a multitude of l/s units and lockers available for the 7.5

Gumby's doing a good job and he's posting here. You could also see what this guy has done,
