What should I install/do before putting it into my Mustang. I will be doing the gears; from 3.27 to 3.73 and bearings. I have a 347 in it currently but not quite sure on on hp yet as I bought it this way. I will get it dyno'd and tuned soon.

I would also change the bushings to poly bushings while the rearend is out of the car to help with wheel hop.. Also a good idea to put an IRS brace if it doesnt already have one.. Make sure you have the 14mm irs subframe bolts.. Or if you dont want to make the holes bigger on your car, you can use your stock 12mm bolts and get the fox swap bushings from Maximum Motorsport.. Lastly, since its an IRS from a 01 cobra, get a Forward Torque brace.. You can get a stock 03/04 cobra one or get an aftermarket one, I like the Kenny Brown that one I have but theres a couple other companies that make them too..<br /> <br /> <small>[ 2014-07-21, 05:35 PM: Message edited by: Blow_U_In_Reverse ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>in4thewin24</b> <br /><small>Member # 13648</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2014,6,21,18,58,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by Blow_U_In_Reverse:<br /><strong> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by 5.0 LsX:<br /><strong> add reinforcement plates where the bolts go through the floor board </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">+1<br /><br />if you are bolting it instead of welding it, make sure you add some reinforcement plates..
