I'm considering buying a posi rear end. All the owner knows about the rear end is that its from a V8 mustang. I have a 65 mustang coupe. I want to know what year mustang this is out of so I know if it is a direct bolt on or if it will require any modifications. I also would like to confirm that it is a limited slip rear end and not a locker. There is no ID tag on the rear end so im not sure if it is possible to identify it. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

looks like an 8 inch 65 or 66 Do you have a pic of the axle tubes where the U bolts would bolt ?

A limited slip will turn both wheels the same direction but if some one holds one wheel and someone else turns the other wheel a limited slip will break loose enough to turn but it will have a lot of drag .A Detroit locker will turn if some one holds one wheel but you will hear a clanking sound of the locker ratcheting .

Thanks, that helps a lot. ? I don't have pics of where axle tubes where the U bolts would bolt. Also, horse sense what would it do if it was ad open differential? Only one heel would spin if you turned it right?

Yes only one side would turn and you could easily hold the other

If it is a 65-66 housing the axle tubes will step down before the U bolt pads .If it is a 67 -70 the tubes will be the same size all the way.

I think it is a 65/66 housing then because it seems to step down like you said, right?
