Hello, new member with a interesting question.

I recently aquired a rearend date coded 2/86 that came out of an LX.

It is a Dana44 with a Powertraxx Posi with 4:56 gears. It is marked Experimental on the right side axle tube.

The guy I got it from said it was an experimental piece built by Ford SVO to check the cost effectiveness of a stronger rear end. Obviously 8.8 won that battle, but I wonder of there is any truth to the story.

I do not have a camera here, but it is here in my shop.

good luck finding the truth to that....my guess would be that it's probably someones custom fab just to be different set up

i dont pay much attention to rear ends that much but ive never heard of a dana axle in a fox.
but hell, u wont have to worry about breaking the damn thing.

It is certainly not a ghetto build. The center is a beautifully cast piece. I have never seen a eared for upper control arms center on a 44.All the ears for the quad shocks as well as the lower control arms are definately CNC welded. I might actually have to go buy a Mustang just to see if I can brake it.
