I have a spare [FE] 428 and a decent 1985 Crown Vic 2dr w/original 302&AOD. It isn't worth much and I haven't driven it in 2 years. I'm thinking of making it into a drag-strip toy w/ the 428 @ about 500 gross hp and a 80lb C4 from JPT. Two main questions: 1) Was a 9" rear axle used in the early 1979 Panther platform before the 8.8 in all the later production? [I want to use a 9"/4.57 pig]. 2)Anyone with fitment knowlege of the 428 [clearance issues: exhaust, motor mts., etc.] ?:beatnik: :banana2:
