9 or 8" REAR END
Hi there,
is it possible to fit a 9 inch positraction diff on an 8"casing?
Does anyone know how to tell appart a Ford 8"from an 9" without taking it apart?
See I bought a 66 Mustang and I was told it has a 9" rear end but I'm not quite sure how to tell them apart. I was told it replaced the stock 8".
Thanks !

9" center section won't fit in an 8" housing.
One quick way to tell the difference is the bottom nut on the carrier. On an 8" you can slip a long socket over it, but with the 9" the size of the pinion housing won't let you use the long socket.
The reinforment ribbing is different too, but I don't have any pictures right now to show the difference.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
