I can tell you from experience it won't hold up. Maybe a little better behind that auto, but a couple clutch drops will wipe one out mighty quick. I wouldn't waste much money experimenting on it, I would sell it and use the money
If the Ford is anything like the GM 7.5 it has a well defined fuse. That fuse gets shorter as you find forward bite. When you get the chassis figured out and work towards a better 60' time that rear end will literally just let go. Not enough support to keep the ring and pinion in full contact under the brutality of a treated launch pad and the desire to go as fast as possible from a standing start. That is the well defined barriers that drag racing presents to the builder. The faster you go the bigger the hammer you are dropping on the drive line.
I'll happily let you guys know. I don't think I can sell it enough for the hassle that it would be worth dealing with the morons on FB. "Will this work on my Honda?" "Will you take half of what you're asking?" "I'll be there tonight (never shows up)."If the Ford is anything like the GM 7.5 it has a well defined fuse.

When you get it built and ready let us know. I want to start a pool on how many serious launches it will live through.....
Fox bodys are inherently easy to set up for drag racing. Lots and lots of info on how to tweak the rear suspension on them for this purpose. Enjoy the journey.
Well if bone stock means cam and all your buddy is probably right. That thing isn't going to get started till probably 3500rpm, and that cam and head are going to run out of gas about 4500rpm. Won't be fun.
I do plan on putting a cam in it. I had one selected - hoping I still have my notes somewhere lol
Wow, welcome to NWI.
05 GMC Yukon. Surprisingly the rest of it is in decent shape. A little rust at bottom of rear quarters and that's it. Only 89k miles Thinking been used many times hauling a boat in and out of the water?
Or the casting was flawed.
3.
Talked to the customer this afternoon. Owned it since 07 and doesnt own a boat. Just strange that 90% of all rust is contained to rear diff and back. Heck, even the brake lines looked decent
Bad casting.
Yeah. That's what I'm thinking. Have another Yukon xl in the shop as well. 1 model year newer (but only built 5 months apart) and still can see most the paint on that one, but has more body rust. Go figure
