Classic Mustangs List Archive

Tried to send this a couple of days ago, and it never showed
up on the list, so here goes again....

I am sure this is a FAQ, but I have been unable to find this
information on the web.

1) What is the best source for a 9" rear end for my '66 coupe?
I am breaking the 8" loose all the time, and since I have a
blower going onto my small-block here pretty soon, I want
to go to the stouter rear-end before I trash everything

2) 15 mpg sucks. I want to put a T-5 in place of my T-10 so I
can get my highway mileage up. I know there used to be a
site on the web that went through all the gory details, but
I cleverly lost all that stuff in the great HD crash of Dec
'97. Any pointers would be appreciated.

3) In connection with query #1, I seem to remember there being a
way to get four wheel discs on a Mustang using Lincoln
Versailles rear-ends. Again, pointers to a web site would be
most appreciated.

Thanks all.

David

FMS now sells a kit based on the Explorer rear disc setup.
it fits 8.8 and 9" rears from trucks and big cars.
So depending on where your 9" came from...
the kit is $379 I think.
