Saw another 8.8 'conversion' with the sandwich design here from Ronin: http://www.hottubsippinbubbly.com/Ronin/fd88install.pdf

An R200 will last you a long time. Seems that's not the weak link, it's the IRS universal joints (ask me how I know...) and then the outer stub axles can snap, but that takes some sticky tires, and hard launches. A street driven 302 should be fine with an R200 and CV axles.

This was my only concern, but if internet sources are to be trusted then I guess you're ok:

You may also want to get this moved over to the Gen III boards. You won't much attention over here in Ford land.

Whew, so I just finished updating ALL of my photo links....what a waste of time THAT is. I used https://postimages.org/ which has a very simple interface, and seems to have been around since 2004. No popups, nobody trying to sell anything. Just storing pictures. Easy Peasy.

I'm giving this site a try. They've been around for a while now and aren't covered in ads. Granted, I'm not sure what their revenue source is, but if it's been working since 2004 for them, I guess their "Rich Uncle" fund hasn't dried up yet. https://postimages.org/about

I actually gave this one a little thought myself. The reason most companies do not use gaskets anymore is that they are trying to provide additional stiffness and rigidity to the differential housing by having a stiff cover, which would also require a solidly bolted connection. When you have paper, rubber or cork gaskets, there is a layer that is very elastic; this will allow the two metal surfaces (cover and housing) to move relative to each other, even if only a tiny bit. The idea of using RTV is to fill in surface imperfections / leak points between the two metal faces, so that 95% of the surface is metal to metal. I think the best bet, design wise would be to use RTV between both sets of sealing surfaces here, and ensure you use the same grade hardware and torque as original. Too often people substitute 'stronger' bolts but then you risk doing one of two things: 1, you follow the original torque values, so you get the correct clamping pressure, but you don't get the correct stretch on your hardware and they may loosen up over time. 2, you follow the torque for new new hardware and you risk stripping out the case, or distort it creating additional leak issues.

The only thing I can guess is the company was about to go belly up, so someone got the bright idea to try for a 'fund raiser' / last hurrah before they shut their doors. Otherwise, yeah, it's a ludicrous plan. Social suicide. How do you use Google Drive for 3rd party hosting? I tried to figure it out but failed. I have unlimited storage space on google drive, so that would be AWESOME if there was a way to link those pictures.

Thankfully, I only really post to one site at a time, but I have build posts for my Mustang, the Z, my Willys , not to mention lots of past projects and my own website. HOWEVER, I didn't realize we can edit really old posts here! Some sites only allow editing posts for a limited amount of time before it gets 'locked' (for whatever reason). We'll see if I care/get bored enough to save all of those old pictures over here in an album and update my content on HybridZ.

Flickr seems to be pretty popular, but I read somewhere you can use Google Drive to link photos somehow, so I'll have to look into that. I have an 'alumni' account from my school, which has free UNLIMITED storage space, so I have all of my pictures backed up there, full res etc. it would be great if I could use that.
-
Yeah, I don't use PB as a backup for my picture, just for hosting purposes, so that's a non issue. I guess I'll start using storage space up on our forum....
-
Yeah, it's all a matter of time though before they try to get you to pay $399 a year too. I can't imagine anyone doing that unless they're hosting a business website, and even then I'd think there's more economical solutions. I didn't come close to any bandwidth or storage limits, but they shut me down. I'm wondering if next month it will reset, but I really doubt it.

Ah, here's their sweet pricing structure for anyone interested: http://support.photobucket.com/hc/en-us/articles/200724444-Plus-Subscription-Pricing-Info

Any advise on how to fix my huge photobucket failure? I just got an email today saying that the lowest levels of Photobucket do not allow 3rd party hosting (ie, linking my stored photos to forums). The only option in their insane pricing schedule that DOES allow 3rd party hosting is $400!!! (YES, $400) a year. So, over the last, idk, 6+ years of my Z build, now the photos are all shot to heck. 1. That said, is it a 'failsafe' option to create an album, then link all my photos there instead of a 3rd party host? I don't want to switch hosts only to be screwed again right away. 2. Is it possible to re-open my posts (via an admin?) to editing for the purpose of re-linking photos to an album, or somewhere else? Is that worth it? Thanks for your help, I'm severely pi*sed off right now as my hobby website went kaflooey, all of my build posts, etc - all shot. Grr. It must have been in the fine print of an 'updated terms and conditions' or something a while back that changed their 3rd party hosting terms.
-
Well then....seems Photobucket (my image hosting site) now wants $399 a year to allow me to use their storage and use them as a host for "3rd party hosting". Neat. So, now every forum I've ever posted on, my website, etc is all wiped clean of pictures. Go F'yerselves Photobucket.

Ya beat me to it, Jacky. I wrote up almost a verbatim reply last night and forgot to post it!

Just a cool product that came on a 620 I got. I'd definitely use them in the future on those crazy heater hoses in the Z. They're about $2-$3 apiece through Rockauto.
