    2003 MM Rear end build guidance appreciated.

    superchargers are hard on the engine, perticularly the bearings. I dont hate them, but they are expensive for an add on, for a perticular budget high or low I would rather have a high end N/A engine than a mediocre blower setup. and personally do not think superchargers sound good. the only...

    I know 400rwhp can be done on an N/A 4.6 dohc motor its just at what expense and drive ability.

    diff and gear set ordered. is there a major difference between the doorman and metco lower control arm and watts link parts? is the improvement over stock just due to stiffness? is there a complete poly bushing kit for our cars? I have looked but been unable to find any.

    Thanks guys, The stock 31 spline axles look great, also after counting the spline on the pinion bearing its a 30 spline. after cleaning off the bearings I noticed it came with koyo and timken for the pinion section and torrington for the axle bearings. I wonder if this is normal for the 2006...

    also are there any objections to using stock 31 spline axles out of the 2006 rear end? Not trying to cheap out or anything but if they are good enough for my intended use I have no problem using them. they were out of a 2006 marquis with a 2.73 open diff. just getting my parts list finalized...

    I don't have a welder so I will take it to a local shop this week, one hopefully with experience doing this sort of thing.

    what does everyone think about having the stock rear end weld mod, the axle tube to the housing all the way around on the outside. is this necessary for our more modern 8.8 housings?

    5.4 it is! So the block im looking for is the Ford M-6010-GT is this a good place to start? I know the actual ford GT blocks are hard to come by. https://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/m20ProductDisplayView?catalogId=10002&langId=-1&productId=1421387&storeId=10001

    were those gears stock? that's a crazy launch!!! Well I knew some came with a blower, may have been the 4.6 terminator they didn't specify. I like that front spoiler, Ill have to snag one. I prefer N/A I know the 5.4 cobra R had around 400 N/A that was a limited edition mustang. I don't want...

    Thanks Bob! a solid pinion spacer and stud kit and girdle are a 100% go, much appreciated. as for the engine the current unit runs very well. I will cross that road during summer. The mustang cobra guys say they can do 500hp NA on their 4.6 4v. I dont know how much is smoke, if its a pure...

    As I understand the higher the gear ratio the smaller the pinion bearing, and since I plan to do a higher hp N/A build over the next couple years, combined with the MM is a relatively heavy machine I would rather build it tough and have it last for the small extra cost. I wanted to go with the...

    I have a 2003 with 146,000 miles and the rear end is leaking and the clutches are gone, after knowing about the axles and needing a rebuild anyway i decided to grab a core from a 2006 marquis. The core is getting sent to sand blast and powder coat this weekend. I need to start ordering parts...
