http://www.fordification.com/tech/rearends_ford13.htm

that website has everything to need to decode the rear and what vehicles to look for. At the bottom there are other pages to click on for more info.

to my knowledge the 7.5's didn't have 3.73's in the mustang, 3.27's was the lowest ratio, my 85 had such in it
