    What's everyone doing to use the e-brake on a 8.8 rear end swap? Some of the articles I've read never touched on it or the threads I've seen have guys who don't use em or never updated what they did.

    Is the ford cable operated? The Toyota brake setup is pretty simple for the ebrake. I would assume guys just adapted them. It does seem to be all too commonly ditched. I hate not having one with a stick shift. Helps when tuning a running motor without it rolling away lol
