King620 Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 I was looking into a Ford 8.8" rear from an Explorer or Ranger....VERY close to same overall length(Ford=49"..iirc : Datsun=48" backing plate to backing plate). Stock form "should take 400hp"....which is plenty strong for a "stock V-6" and come with a 3.08 or 3.55 or 4.10 ratio....so have options there....and come with either drums or discs if you want to upgrade to a little better stopping power. only a 5 bolt lug pattern, so different wheels will be needed.

4.0lratsun Posted August 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 all the 8.8s i found in exploders were about 60" datsun bein about 54 1/4 so they would have to be narrowed but they can be had with discs and lsd Quote Link to comment
