ok... a fox bodys rear axle setup with traction loc. will if fit ok under a 67 coupe? i want wider tires. also will the breaks hook up of the my lines?

Whats the width of the fox body diff? A stock 67 is 59.25" axle face to axle face...

It wont bolt in you gotta cut all the mounting tabs off the axle then weld in spring perchs im unsure about the width.

Jerm, i had all the same questions your asking when i started, you could do a search and use my name and go back to the begining when i first joined. a fox rear will work, but you already have a 9" dont you if its a v8 car?

Starfury

Negative, most likely an 8". The only Mustangs with 9" rears in 67 were K and S code cars.

The fox 8.8 will fit perfectly, but as andrew said you still need to cut and weld new spring perches. You'll also need to grab some 5 lug axles and brakesout of a Ranger or Aerostar. I'll get you the specific vehicles if you need them.

Not sure if the brake lines will bolt up directly, but it's easy to get an adaptor.

i knew some of them had the 9" jus tdidnt know which ones.
on the axles if you can grab some out of a 4X4 ranger and the gear and **** from the inside. the 4x4's came with 4.10's stock i believe.

i just got my 8.8" the other week out of a SSP - in the process of cutting to get everything lined up and mounted in and the yoke is or has been on its way from inland :|

so with all that cutting and stuff...what would be the best thing to do/buy if your going to convert from 6-460...it seems like every rear-end that anyone wants to put in place of the 7.2 you have to cut and weld something...is there a rear end you can just swap it out with...thank you...

there isn't a lot of cutting, i don't know why people keep saying there is. - you don't have to cut the tubes etc.

all i did was cut the old spring perches off, get the axle in the correct spot over the top of the springs, lined it up evenly on both sides. i then angled it correctly and held it there while i tacked on the perches. i removed the axle and welded the perches securely then remounted them. after i swapped over the axles (directly from a 98 mustang with a 8.8") i put the new conversion yoke from Inland in and then mounted on the rims and tires. i have bullitt knock offs with 255 45 17's in the rear and they are almost dead even with the fender openings.

it's not as hard as people make it out to be, just when you cut the perches off don't jam into the tube.

you can have this done in honestly under 2 hours.

SalikDDD, is right. It will work perfectly in a 67 body. It's a little too wide for the 65-66 body style. And the 8.8 is a very good alternative to a 9". The 8.8" would be carpared to a Chevy 12 bolt rearend.
