So I'm a young pup building my first Ford Hot Rod. I chose a 1967 Mustang Fastback. It is an original GT 4 speed S Code car. Unfortunately pretty much everything was gone when I got it. I have several questions about what I've purchased. All suggestions and oppinions would be appreciated. as I am just about to put it all together and can still return certain things and swap them out if need be. I am buiding the car to be a street warrior.

I purchased a new nodular 9" strange housing with a trac loc and 3.89 gears. Moser 31 spline axles and disc brake set up. Will these gears be too tall.

My tranny is out of a 68 GT5000 mustang. I think this will work but not sure if I am going to miss having OD?
