There was a guy who seemed to have pretty well thought out custom designed IRS stuff in Cocoa Beach Fla, "321"?? something. He was small time but seemed to have the bases covered. I toyed with an E body IRS set-up, currently I got a Caddy CTS IRS package on the shelf waiting to be installed, but the center section torque limits are its big drawback, but if I resist 1/4 mile use ?I think it might survive.

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

What about using the rear setup out of the 1989-1997 Tbirds? They use the 8.8 rear gears and you can even swap in the 2003+ Cobra diffs. Don't know the measurements on the width. Also, these have a 4.25 bolt pattern that can be changed to the 4.5 pattern with the cobra hubs. Just an idea.

Most reproduction Shelby Cobras use the rear from an old Jag. Think the 78-87 XJ6 sedan or the 78-94 XJS coupe. The rear will handle the torque of a V-12, and a 428 side oiler, so I think it could handle probably anything else you could put at it. The minus is FINDING one of these rears- as many have been pulled already!

Also- in the same vein- Look at set ups that are offered for the Shelby Cobra Kit Cars. If they are using the XJ set-up, then I am sure someone is making a bolt-in that is based on it.
The plus is you get Ford bolt spacing- same as Mopar. Not sure of track width, etc...

Hope this helps!
CC.
