I used 5 lug rotors from a 87 dakota on my 91. On the rear axle I used a Ford 8.8 from a 97 Ford exployer. It is a little narrower than the factory 8.25


Just curious what's done to the engine and transmission?


The engine isn't much of a build. My friend built it as a claimer engine for a class he was racing in. He ended up building a gen3 hemi engine for his 87 dakota, so I bought thr 5.9 magnum engine off him. Here is a breK down of the build.
Stock bore and stroke 2000 5.9 magnum
Stock crank and rods.
Clivlite full Grove rod/main bearings.
ARP rod bolts.
KB107 pistions.
Comp 550 solid lift cam
Trickflow 190CC heads.
3/8th Smith brother oil through push rods.
PRW billet steel 1.6 rockers
Ported indy cylinder head single plane intake
Holley 650DP ported to flow close to 800cfm
Hooker 1-5/8 full length headers.
Turboaction built 904 transmission
RMVB
Coan 8 inch 5500 stall. Which I need to send in and get redone.
Ford 8.8 full spool and 4.30 gears.
28x9x15 slicks.

Forgot to add I installed the trickflow heads. When I got it from him. It had some EQ heads on it.
