I understand you already have this motor, I really do know what your thought process and logic is on that part.


im not sure the LD f250 had heavier front torsions, they might be the long ones like under the most 97-98's though.

space wise, yeah you can stuff it and you will need to build your own mounts.

i would use the in tank fuel pump myself.

heres the problem with the 9", and only problem i have with the 9" is the lack of a tone ring for ABS (great for hauling wouldn't you say?) and i think it was a little over an inch narrower than the 8.8/9.75. I think i seen someone offers a 9" that can accept a tone ring though.


I agree you're probably overlooking the fact that motor sat for 20 years, we dont know the environment it sat in but usually its not nice to these motors.
