We make the mounts for this diff swap and you can use the ford axles with some machine work. Check out V8S2000.com for more info. But I have a 99 cobra IRS and custom DSS axles in my LS1 powered S2000

I'd like to know what you did to make the stock ford axles work. The t-bird axles are the right length, they just dont fit the hubs.

I saw in a thread on v8s2000 that you machined some ford hubs to fit. Any pics of the hubs?

since it requires modding (clearancing) the gas tank, I highly doubt i'll be making this into a kit.

Still a great thread for those who are looking for an alternative in a stronger diff once they go boost or drop in a V8!!!
