Here is one....to keep it compact enough to fit in the tight quarters of the CR, I discovered that the Ford Aerostar vans have a 3 link suspension and therefore use a special 8.8 rear end that has the top mounting cast into the side of the pumpkin housing....the rear end does need to have one side shortened since on the Aerostar one side is 3" longer than the other....I fabbed up the control arm myself and welded tabs to the frame member. Works very well, no binding since it is a heim joint, and NO wheel hop on burn outs.
