You truly are passionate about foxes. I could only dream to be knowledgeable like you one day. Great work sir!

Dude you saved my ass! I have 8.8 w/C-Clip eliminators and run a 15" wheel on my Fox. The fancy disc brake conversion brackets, put my axles out a 1/4" on each side producing less spline contact at the spool. Not to mention Cobra rotors and calipers wont allow 15" wheels. I couldn't believe this would work till I did it. Bravo!

Junkyard has made you a good mechanic

Great how you held the camera while doing this work. Amazing how you also played a snare drum.

Thank you for this excellent, step-by-step tutorial. As always, your video ranks with the best for clearly expressed, thorough, guidance.

Dogg I have been looking for this swap tutorial or instructional video for years and have read instructions but you are the first video with informative instructions, thanks bro.

Thank u sir for making this video. When I was reading articles about this, they made it seem so hard. Ur video made it make more sense.

I have a 83 TTOP foxbody (over 25 years) that had an engine fir last Fall and I was 90% complete with it. I always paid to get stuff done to the car but now I am learning cause I want to do it myself and your videos have taught me so much. Since my engine fire I have been spending close to 3 hours looking at videos but yours truly hit home and i can relate. My twin brother has a 70 Fastback and he is COMPLETELY RESTORING IT but he has a mechanics background. I DON'T. I am learning and I thank you.Keep up the good work with these videos.

probably my most fav fox channel. so many great tips on budget upgrades

Never knew you could do that. Essentially any sn95 8.8 can fit fox length axels with sn95 brakes

I knew about the axles but never dreamed you could take the SN95 housing and flip the brackets! Lol

Thats some real JYD right there, making one outta two LOL. Proof positive your a good soul, teaching us dirty folk and sharing info we can make a little money on, blessings on ya for that.

Outstanding job Mr thanks share more Fords & Chevy swaps we van do to our olds Rigs Say hello Joe.

Very informative I will be doing this swap when it's time as my 85 has the 7.5 rear 86 was first year with 8.8

I didn't realize you could cut the caliper bracket and mount it on the inside. Wish I would of known that, I bought the bent ones when I did my swap. Love your videos.

Man, that oil was clean

I was told a rear from a 90s explorer would work also

Nice work

Love your stuff! Hey jyd,do I have to use the passenger axles so one from one car and one passenger from another. I have a for lug 6 cylinder notch swapped to a 302.thanks

To save your self the trouble, just get the axles from rock auto . A lot cheaper than LMR. the set out the door cost me 137 dollars. All you have to do is buy studs they don’t come with the axles ..

Ok new Subscriber love it ,, I have an 8.8 out of a 5.0 took it out myself the tab under one of the bolts what does it mean - S225C 3L08. 88 4L14

Where is the finned cover from please and is this rear for the twin super charger stand from awhile ago?

Very informative

I was wondering if I get a 1994 mustang with a V8 in it - would the rear end and 5 lug set up bolt up to my 83 foxbody? the disc breaks- the break lines- etc. That's what's going on here ? Except you get those shorter axles to keep stock length? Thing is though the doner car has 183k miles on it. Does that mean the rear end shouldn't be used? Love this channel and the foxbody secrets! 🔥💯💥 can same break master be used as well?

Great video! Just so I understand, you can only use the passenger side axle from the aerostar and the drivers from the ranger/bronco 2? Why can you not use both sides from the aerostar?

@JunkyardDoggs

Torsional twist force. After years of an axle rotating in one direction if you put it on the opposite side it will snap once you apply any real power. You wont have issues with a stock set up though.

Yes you can. If you find 4 lug disc brakes from a a Thunderbird Turbocoupe it works great

Is there a reason you're only considering older Rangers??? I've got 2 2006's Are they less sturdy then the older rears??? I'm actually putting an Expedition rear in the one because it has disc brakes. PLUS... originally it was on the ground, with the wheels still on. They needed room down the shop, so... anyway, they pulled the wheels off for me and put it on top of another vehicle. Saved me a lot of work... neither of my Rangers have rear sway bars, are they worth it???

What if you want to stay 4 lug. What brackets do you use for that.

I just bought a 90 LX 5.0. Not stock. It is still 4 lug but has disc in rear. I feel like the axle is wider than stock. Getting tire rub in corners. How can I identify the axle that is in it. Tnx

Would you happen to know how many splines on a 89 saleen mustang axle.did they all use a 28 spline axle?

Do u have a video for the front

I have a question I cannot find it any information on. Is there any other vehicle with 31 spline that will fit for the fox body stock axle. And what was the rotor you used on this build from and year?

ik this is an old vid, but i just did a local junk yard scavenger hunt, no passenger side axles, so exactly how important is it to NOT use two driver side axles??

If I was to purchase axles new what size would they need to be

Did you use the sn95 housing and if so are they the same dimensions as the fox housing? You should have added a parts list. Well done.

Man, I got my Ranger axle, but damn, the Aerostar is a pain. Twice I've striped the head on the 5/16" bolt for the pin. The van's at the yards here don't have keys, so unless there's another way to get them into neutral, I'll have to remove the driveshaft to rotate the axle and get a better position to wrench on the retainer bolt. Any suggestions?

Yes. To get them into Neutral, remove the selector connection from the transmission. The neutral position is usually two clicks from park. That way you can go from park to neutral without a key and rotate the driveshaft.
