What types of ford vehicles are a dirrect bolt in for a 9 in rear end swap?

I have a 1972 Mach 1 and I need to get a 9in rear end for it. I have tried to look it up on the internet with no luck.[>:] A little help would be appreciated. Oh and all the leafspring crap, gear size stuff, spline info and yolk talk (whatever that means) would be nice also.





Remember I am a chick and I am not a expert mechanic.[>:] However you don't need to talk in "dumb talk" cause I have several great mechanics just a moments notice away. So type away and I will just hit the print button.

Thanks for your help.

 

Theres http://www.perogie.com/Rears.htm and http://www.ilovemymustang.com/ http://www.mustangjunkyard.com/ and http://www.mustangmasters.com/ get a housing only and replace all the bearings and seals then build it up how it is needed.Every thing else needed http://www.mustangdepot.com/ and any other mustang part house will carry.

 

Ok Thanks for the links.

I would still like to know the types of vehicles I can pull a 9in rear end out of that will work with my Mach. I have plenty of salvage yards to choose from around here and there are rearends that show up for sale also (just nothing Mustang since we have so many rebuilt ones).[&:] I can probably get it cheaper local then to have one shipped from across the U.S.

I do appreciate the parts sites though so I can order parts needed.

 

Heres a chart http://dfwmotorsport.com/Fairlane/9inchrearends.htm and and how to tell a 8 inch and 9 inch apart http://www.ridgenet.net/%7Ebiesiade/Fordrears.html good luck the 71-73 is a wide car not many other cars out there rear end will fit it and there old so most junkyards won't have one.

 

You are officially my hero!!

BTW we have lots of old cars/car parts around here just not to many mustang or camero stuff.

THANKS MAN!! BIG HUGS!!

 

Try look at trucks i think some came with 9"

 

A truck one would work as long its not to wide and the spring perchs are in the spots they need to be.

 

HI MY72!!!! i was wondering when you'd come around here lol

one out of a ford truck with a 9in my work

 

Oooo....trucks that would be good. I will have to measure them, but now that I know what I need to look for it makes it much easier.
