8.8 in the 85

[Elroy]

The parts have begun to accumulate

Those Fox bodies have certainly reached the re cool zone.

the last of the carbureted v-8's

I owned this one for a few months, it was definitely fun and got lots of thumbs up!  5.0 with a 5 speed.

Well it's coming apart OK. My local teenage helper holds interest and is gaining some good experience.

a little late Monday progress

here's one good reason it's coming out. the ring gear has a nice big chip in one of the teeth

I was thinking liters. And hell yeah, Elroys putting a mountain motor in a Fox body.  My mistake.

Elroy is going to pass on 537 cubes. the 5 liter roller motor is just fine. the problem is the 2.73 ratio, marginal strength 7.5 INCH carrier.

Could you educate this young whipper snapped....

What are they measuring when they get the number because I've heard of the 9 inch rear end before but never looked into why they called them that.

I have to admit, fellas, that I too was wondering what was being talked about. But I hesitated asking a question and revealing my ignorance. So by being quiet I'm seeming smarter.

But I didn't know what the 8.8 was, either! I apologize for being such a chicken.
