Getting everything together to do the 4.10 swap.

(This has been beaten to death - I will now beat it beyond death, to where it returns from the grave and wanders the Earth as an undead Zombie, consuming other threads.)

I want to get as much done as possible while it's apart, and over-build it to leave myself some headroom for a supercharger up the road. I'm getting it done at a shop, so labor's a consideration.

If the price were closer I'd go with the 31 spline LSD (which would be brand new, and comes with the carbon fiber clutches and saves a bit on labor), instead of keeping the 28's (+ the cost of the carbon fiber clutches, and the labor for the rebuild), BUT the cost of replacing the axles puts it past what I'm willing to spend. (And I'm not sure I'll really need them, either.)

From Sparta :

Ford Racing 8.8" Gear Sets, 4.10
M-4210-C3 - Install Kit
M-4700-C - Carbon Fiber Clutch kit
28 Spline S-Spring

Also want to get :

Solid Spacer Kit - http://www.jegs.com/i/Richmond+Gear/836/04-0011-S/10002/-1?CAWELAID=1710930624&catargetid=1784155608&cadevice=c&&cagpspn=pla&gclid=CKC2hKzDrbcCFQqi4AodVQ8A TA

Bearing Stud Kit - http://www.lethalperformance.com/ford-racing-96-04-mustang-8-8-ford-bearing-cap-stud-kit.html

I probably don't strictly need these last two, but I figure I might as well because they don't push up the price that much.

Also maybe :

Rear Axle Girdle - https://id144237.webhosting.optonline. net/spartaperformance.com/merchantmanager/product_info.php?manufacturers _id=1&products_id=231

But I can do that myself later, so it can wait if need be.

I also have to figure in a new tune, probably from Mo.

Does this all check out ? Opinions ?

Just save the money from the 31 spline and carbon clutches and get the Eaton Trac Lock rear end. Then there is no need for those extra parts and labor will be much easier on the wallet because it comes in a package. Done.

Break them in correctly, or you could be having to do it all over again - with all new parts again. Get the Girdle too from the start, it puts 5lbs on the bearing caps and will prolong ring and pinon life.

Do you have a link for that ?
