Quad shock help May 08, 2008, 11:01:12 AM As far as using quad shocks, can the 7.5 rear ends have them? I have a parts car 1987 v8 with quad shocks and drum rear brakes. I was under the impression both the v6 and the v8 rear ends were the same. Is this true? I just read a thread about a member possibly giving up on an 8.8 swap and losing the possibility of quads.
