As long as they are for your 7.5 rearend they'll fit, I've seen as high as 4.10 for the 7.5 so you should be able to find 3.45 without a problem

3.45's are great choice for a blower car at the track or a street car for better acceleration and milage

dont waist your time with 3.45's you will want more if you have a 5spd get 3.73's and if you have an auto go with 4.10's and dont forget a t-lok! that will make you

Ive got 83 stang carbed and S/C I am running 3.73's they work for me, I can launch pretty nice, 4:10's will eat more fuel in youre budget. Ive had 4:10's in my 93 LX 302, I pulled them for 3.73's. Its all in prefferance. 3.45's will give good fuel mpg, It all depends on youre future mods,

Good Luck.

they make as low as 5.13's for the 7.5, but don't use them in high torque applications, you'll bust the pinion, they get a bit small...

you won't bust the pinion on the 7.5

it is bigger than a 9" ford pinion. the stock differential or the T-lok gears are small and blow apart. not the ring or pinion
