Hi,

I am looking at doing a conversion to 5 Lug and one day a V8 engine from my current 65 inline 6. I have seen a few 8" rear ends on ebay but not sure if other mustang years would work with my 65 or if other ford cars would work. Any information as to what year / models would work with my 65?

 

65, 66 would be a direct bolt in. 67 and up will be wider than stock but Ive been told it is close enough to adjust with wheel backspacing

 

a lincoln versailles also bolts in fairly easily, it has a 9" rear end

All you need are the axles from a 65-66. 8" third members are the same. Could even use the third member from a pinto or Mustang II as long as it's 8". Some Mustang IIs came with a 3:55 gear.

 

i have axle out my 8" sitting in the yard. I can make you a deal if you need them. they are out of 66 289

however i live in az so i dont know if the frieght would be worth it

 

Thanks for the offer, I live in Wisconsin so that would be a little $$. I am looking for a whole 8" assembly if anyone has one.

 

I have a 8" out of a 68 mustang.
Has 3.00 gears
axles
backing plates
Needs all new brake parts
