These are getting hard to find. The '95 and up Ford Explorer 8.8" rears are a nice alternative. 31 spline axles, 3.55 or 3.73 gears w/posi from factory, disc brakes.....
Cheap too. I just bought one from an '01 for $250
Just a suggestion...Richard T. Gautier

SinistrV6 is right, they are getting to be very hard to find and pricey at that. They generally have pretty tall road gears and no traction lock. I have a couple, but think the shipping and cost of the unit would not be worth it to you.
I have to agree, the Ford Explorer would be much easier to find and a lot less costly.

Do you know the full lenghth of these rear ends? The reason I'm after a versailles is because it is the perfect length for the project I'm doing! If the 95 up rear is too big I can't use it. Also does anyone know if a 77 Granada rear is the same as I versialles? I heard it was and found one for a very good deal. Just don't wanna buy it till I get confirmation it is pretty much exactly the same.Originally posted by SinistrV6

So the 77 rear will work? It is a 9 inch rear then?? I'm new to this whole swap so all the info people could provide would be great! Only thing I heard is they usually won't have the disc brake setup like a versailles which the rear end I found doesn't. But I planned on new rear discs anyhow as the versailles ones are quite heavy and not as good as some others out there. Am I right? So go for the 77 rear end then right?? It's very cheap compared to the versailles qoutes I been getting. Like 300 dollars cheaper then most quotes and its right here in town. The rest I found required shipping from out of state. STREETS please help me out!Originally posted by Streets

Not sure if a Granada would be a 9''. If you are not going to use the lincoln brakes, why not just order a brand new housing built to the exact width you want it from Currie's or Moser???Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!
