Author Topic: 8.8 swap 93lx4cyl ¯ Member # 10517 posted                              Question. Wanting to swap a 8.8 in my 4cyl auto to start piecing the suspension out and upgrading before I get a donor car and do a v8 swap. I know the hard brake lines have to be addressed Wondering if it is a direct bolt in as far as u-joints and driveshaft lwngth? Same question if it was an sn95 rear end?

I did. The problem comes in to play when you want to add dual exhaust. The 7.5 chassis line bolts right up to the same spot as the passenger side muffler hanger goes.
