Re: Ford Explorer 8.8 3.55 to K1 axle swap

In your mind, picture the off-set in vertical rather than horizontal. Then it becomes easier to not think of it as a problem. Thousands of these 8.8s have been repurposed and never give a problem. One of the mechanics I worked with put an 8.8 in his 1956 Mercury pickup. He has been driving it since before I retired 15 years ago.
I cannot easily see the picture on my smartphone, but I can drag it to a larger size on my touch-screen desktop.
If you need more information, the guys at Inland Empire, https://www.iedls.com/ , might help you. Ask your questions as if you are a prospective customer.
Why the C4 with a standalone overdrive instead of an AOD or EOD?
Which engine is the C4 paired with?
2006 Subaru Impala WRX Wagon (daily driver)
2001 Ford F150 Supercrew (hauler)
1985 Ford F150 (donor)
1941 International K2 (project)
