i have a 2wd 85' Toyota pickup manual. i have a 5.0L 302 from a mustang that i am going to put in there, and i need to know what needs to be done with the axle? to stand up to the power. i eventually want to get a suspension lift and bigger tires and also wanna know how it effects what type of lift to get

thanks, mike

 

Moving your post, you put this in the tech article submission area.

My suggestion would be to put a Ford 9" in the rear end, the little 7.5" toyota housing is too weak to handle that much power....think about it, its made to handle the power of a baby little 4 cyl.

 

even going to an 8" 4WD axle would be a huge step up!

 

you do not need a 9 inch for a stock 302.

 

well i think im in luck cause im sisters friends has a rolled toyota 4x4 she said i could have anything off it
