In getting ready for my upcoming Car9 build, I started researching what was needed to put together an IRS based on Ford 8.8 components. Found lots of info on the web, but it was scattered across many random forum threads and various vender sites and was sometimes conflicting. :BH: My notes became unmanageble. So I started consolidating them into one reference document. I hadn't intended to write a paper, but that's kind of what resulted :roll:

I thought posting it for the community might save others some time and/or frustration. But first I thought it best to have Miatav8 and Driven5 review it to make sure I was on the right track. Their comments and corrections have been included. Thanks much, guys.

So what's attached is a zip file containing a 6 page Word document. If it contains errors or ommissions, I'm happy to make corrections and post an updated Version 2. Just let me know. Hope you find this useful.
