I cant find them. I have looked on the net and cant find anyone that sells what I think are the correct brackets. IF you know where to find the correct brackets to put it in a fox.. im interested.

The upper brackets on the 8.8 are cast.. made onto the housing not a separate piece that is welded on. Lowers would be no problem, its the uppers that are a sumbitch.

I looked all over autowelds site and didn't see where i could buy just the upper control arm mounting brackets to weld to a 9 inch housing.

Thanks. It would be easier for me to do the 9 inch swap this way.. buy the housing and brackets now, save for getting it narrowed, save for axles.. just cant spend that much coin at one time on it.

I had thought about that. BUT.. with the aluminum drive shaft in a fox car that is lowered.. there just isn't ANY room in the trans / drive shaft tunnel for a torque arm. Now I'm thinking this because I have not seen one for a Mustang that wasn't built like the F-body car's torque arms. If there are other options I'm open to those.

Also..how is this going to work for drag racing? I thought this set up was more suited for road / Corner cars.
