    Winter Capri Upgrades ...

    Parts started to arrive for my winter upgrades for the Capri. Nothing real exciting yet but I figured I would start a thread with part pictures and update as some of this comes along.

    31 spline Detroit Locker. Hopefully this ends my exploding side gear issue ;)



    I have been running a 4.10 gear most of last season and the start of this one. When I fragged that rear I tried a 3.55. I was actually pretty happy with that combo with the 26" slicks. For this year I'm going back to a 27" tall DOT tire so I went with a 3.73 gear (Ford Racing).



    Ford Racing install kit ...



    Moser studs for the bearing caps (they are actually made by ARP) ...



    Moser Girdle cover ...



    I also have 31 spline Moser axles and 3" studs for them.

    I still need to make a decision on a brace. Right now i'm really thinking about uning the Swarr Bar on this rear. The CHE and tubular mounts are likely to get into my 3" tail pipe and I wouldnt be able to stand this thing if it was dumped so I need the tail pipe. I would likely have already ordered the Swarr brace if it wasnt out of stock at American Muscle (Only place I see that carries it?)

    It's a start anyway :D
