    GM 12 bolt FMC 8.8 interchange

    Does anyone recall the article in Hot Rod Magazine a year or two ago about using GM 12 bolt parts in the Ford 8.8. Apparently they are quite similar. If I posted this in the wrong place, I'm a FNG here, sorry. I take my old mags to the VA in Sioux Falls, so of course I can't find the article, might try that internet thingy in desperation.

    Why would you want the hassle. 8.8 is pretty stout.

    Will somebody please post the actual link to the 8.8 and GM 12 bolt parts interchange?

    I was under the impression the only interchangable parts were with the bearings.

    The more I learn, the more I find out I don't know.

    Confusion will be my epitaph...

    Home of the Berserker Marauder, one of the ancient Norse warriors legendary for working themselves into a frenzy before a battle and fighting with reckless savagery and insane fury, held to be invulnerable...shirtless regardless of wounds...(possibly due to ingestion of psychotropic and hallucinatory drugs such as Fly Agaric Mushrooms)...
