Rear-End Help!!!

[SLEEPERstang21]

I am looking to replace my rear-end on my '67. It used to be a straight 6 and still has the old rear-end. What are other rear-ends that I can use from other vehicles that will fit properly?

If you want it to be the correct width you can use an 8" or 9" out of a 67 thru 70 Mustang or Cougar. There probably are others.

I heard that I can also use a Granada. Is this true?

run a search, there was a thread about what 9" rear will work just last week.

you can use an 8.8 outa a 94-98 stang. just cut off the control arm mounts and weld on spring perches and you are good to go! thats what I did plus you get rear disc brakes

I have an 8" out of a 78 granda with 3.00 gears. Easy swap. I believe this rear is slightly narrower then a standard 8" in a 68

The center-to-center measurement for the spring perches is the same for the Granada and the '67 Mustang, though the overall length of the Granada axle housing is a bit shorter. It'll fit, and as a bonus you'll be able to fit *slightly* wider wheel/tire combos in back.

Any 8- or 9-inch rear end from a '67-'70 Mustang, or '67-'70 Cougar would be a direct fit. (54¼" bare housing width).

If you want a little more wheel clearance, you could install a '57-'59 Ford big car 9-inch rear end, '65/'66 Mustang/Falcon rear end, '75-'80 Granada/Mercury Monarch 8- or 9-inch rear end, or '77-'80 Lincoln Versailles 9-inch. All these rear ends have a 52¼" bare housing width --same as the '65/'66 Mustangs, and all rear ends listed have spring perches on 43" centers --same as '65-73 Mustangs.
