I wanted to do this when i swapped gears, but i didn't have the cash back then.
I was thinking of going with strange 31 spline axles, what else do i need? i need to replace the posi, correct? what brand posi is best. The car will never really have that much power. at best it'll go low 12s, but it will be constantly dropped from 4-5k rpms so i want something that will not break.

Thanks.

I would say Your chances of breaking Your stock axel's on street tires/DR's with a 12 second car are very low.

You can go with a 31 spline traction lock. Its like the stock setup, but can accomodate31 spline axles. There is a guy on the corral that goes by the name 70maverick selling a bunch of explorer and f-150 take offs (31 spline taction lock) for $90 shipped. He claims they have between 5-10k miles. I bought one and it looks new. Plus they are rebuildable just in case you have issues. That would be a budget route!
