i have been researching and been thinking about possibly installing a ford 5.0 into my 83 280zx. i was just wondering what rear end i should use. im a pretty sure the turbo models came with a different rear end than the n/a. is this true and if so could i get one of these. if not what else is everyone else doing. thanks for any info.

You'll get gobs of information on a search for the R200. I believe most 280ZXs had an R200. Some had the R180 (automatic?), and the Turbo ZX had the R200, but had the more robust CV jointed halfshafts instead of the usual U-Jointed shafts. The R200 is plenty strong for even a well built SBF, but the R180 will be questionable.
