Blas, I kind of thought that might be the situation. Thanks for the reply.

jacobsed, I've done the drilling/tapping thing many times on various types of machinery. I just prefer not to do it blind if I can avoid it. I did look at some Youtube videos on the Ford 8.8 differential just to get an idea of the internal clearances where I would be drilling. Looks like there's plenty of room. Just have to make sure all of the chips get cleaned out.

Jeff, Ya, that Ford friction modifier is some nasty smelling stuff.

Thanks again for the replies gentlemen.

Ted
