It says it was taken out of a Mercury Mountaineer. It has disc brakes, posi, and 3.73's. Can someone tell me if this will fit or if it takes anything to get it to fit.

Well it says right in the add if would be great for a gear swap in a Mustang, so Im thinking it wont fit.

Yeah thats why I didn't think it would but you never know, might get lucky lol.

Why dont you just put gears in the 7.5?

Heres an Auburn Posi, rebuilt for a 7.5

And with the money you save from that you can buy new gears.

I can afford the gears and posi, but not the install right now. Thats the only problem.

i got my gears installed for $20 :) they make a huge difference i was actually thinkin about swappin my 7.5 w/ 3.73's and t-lok out for a stock one when i got my new car but ended up sellin it with the gears and tlok in it

Lol if I could get mine installed for $20 I would do it tomorrow. Unforunatly like many people on here I don't have a mechanic friend...although I know a guy who owns a body shop but that doesn't help here.

How much would the install cost for you?

For me it is going to cost 250 or so, and thats with a mechanic friend.

Called one place near me and was quoted 1k...fck that. But i've heard you can have it done for anywhere from 300-700, which I could save up for.
