Rear-end

I was at a wrecking yard today with my friend, and I got to talking to the guy about a wrecked Charger. The guy would give me a good deal on the rear drivetrain, and cradle.

I've seen on here a couple of guys who've done the Lincoln IRS swap, but I kinda like the Charger becouse of aftermarket support for the Hemi boys.

Would you do the above IRS or a 9" with a tri-angulated 4 link with aftermarket arms? Something like what a 5.0 Mustang has.

I got a guy who wants to buy some Mustang parts off me this weekend "fingers crossed". So if he does I would like to upgrade my rear suspension if possable. Other things in my summer project have first dibs on moneys.

Hemis put down more torque then most FE's, and the cars there in weigh more.

Its a play thing/DD in the future.

I will probily end up buying a F250CS in a couple of years to tow with. As I want a small camping trailer for me and my son to go fishing in.
