Question about rear end

no i don't plan on racing. i wouldn't mind racing it a couple times just to see what it would actually do if it even hooks up. detroit locker 3.50 gears with a 1990 302 ,b303 cam, gt 40 alum heads and tremec 3550 trans.

she quick then!!! Any estimates on 1/4 miles? 0-60?

Rutter ... how did that versailles rear end fit before you narrowed it ?? did it have factory disks on it ??

it actually fit great. i know i could have put a 8" on back,but i don't think nothing bigger without modification. definately had less backspacing, it would look more like a normal wheel and not fwd. i'll have to measure the wheels i actually had under it just to set it on the ground. i don't remember if they are 7 or 8 wide.

u might try finding a 75 to 78 mustang II rearend. preferibly mach1 or cobra with v8 they had posi's around 355 gear ratio . get a great price in junk yard i would think. at least round here we do. most of these necks in mississippi dont think of performance, unless it has antlers on it..

The stock rearend is a nice piece but the gear ratio is not going to work with a V-8 trans unless it has overdrive and even then the ratio is too low.

a 9 inch is probably the best way to go. one from a small Ford car from the 70s would have the correct 5 lug pattern to swap to the Toyota/Ford style pattern.

if you want to keep the 6 lug, shich is what Im doing, then you need to have the axles redrilled when you have them shortened. I found a place to shorten the axles and redrill them for 225

then you have the strength of the 9 inch, shich is the best stock rearend ever made, and the largest range of gear ratios of any rearend and they are available at any wrecking yard.
