I know that the mustang unit is designed to be a bolt in assembly. I am sure that using the Mark Viii of ThunderBird unit will require more fabrication. Any reason that you want to get rid of the 8.8?

i dont want to deal with the binding issues that come with it. and tryin to correctly fix that would require a lot more modification than me boltin up an IRS. plus the irs is better no matter wat u do to the 8.8 when it comes to high speed turns.

lincoln tbird setup was sorta designed around a different chassis platform, the 99-04 cobra was designed to fit into solid rear car designed car, so I kinda think it wont work. In fact I dont think anyones ever done it that I know of
