As for the rear end, I agree they are no 9 inch Ford, but I'm told it is pretty much the same thing as a Dana 44. Torque kills rear ends, but if you don't run drag slicks, which you won't, cause you can't drag race it anyhow, you should be fine.
ERA makes, IMO the best looking body in the business. If that's important, the Superformance cars look great also, and they use a Dana rear end (not sure what spec). The only trouble/benefit with Superformance is you don't get to build the car.
Good luck, and enjoy shopping.

Appreciate all the feedback. I did look at superperformance and they have a beautiful kit... the con is we cannot build it. (guess there is somthing rewarding about good ole seat and tears in a project)
As for the Temrinator... it is a 4.6L blown from a 03-04 Mustand Cobra. Stock numbers are good for a production car and the motor adapts well to mods. I have been trying to imagine what 500+ hp in one of these rides will equate to.
so as others have said... welcome to the game.... i am sure i will have many more questions.
