    Ford 9" gears?

     



    I am in need of a 9 inch gearset with a 3:25 gears, When iI go the auto yard how can I ellimiate or choose possible cannidate cars/trucks? I know you can check the axle tags and door post decals but it sure would be nice to narrow the search.

    Marks and T-Birds will usually have 2.80's or 3.00's in my experience.

    I think about it, the heavier the car the more gear it will need.
