Just wondering what i should go with and how much will this run me? I know nothing about the rear end so thats why im asking. My friend mentioned Eaton is real good and can hold up to about 600+ HP so when i go big later on. Let me know what u guys think and where can i buy this at. Thanks

If you look in some of the mustang mags there is a company that sells rear end kits, Eaton or Auburn diff, 31 spline moser axles and wheel studs for ~$500-550.

Any rear end that allows the "other" tire to spin is a "limited slip".

Posi-traction is just one of the types of LSD's. A locker is another.

Posi-traction is good because it only engages when the other tires loses traction. So for normal driving, only one tire gets traction.

But a locker engages both tires all the time. There are some that dis-engage when you are in a turn, which is the only kind you should comtemplate if locker is what you want.

From my experience, a Posi LSD will engage the other tire quickly enough to not make much of a difference. But if you are for "all out drag", then a locker is the way to go.

a detroit locker is a huuuuuge no no in the street car game. im running 31 spline Auburn Diff. with 31 spline Moser axles. Nice little acceleration gain. nothing that is SOTP, but its there.

FRPP 31-spline Trak-Lok and Superior axles. You can get the Ford unit for $189 from Gene Evans Ford. I got both the differential and axles for less than the Auburn unit costs.

Where did you get the axles from?
