Bought mine on Ebay ..forgot the sellers name. It was a NOS part in the Motorcraft box. I think it was 70s or 80s stock. Bolted right in and has been working great.

Hey whos that guy??!!

Big power in the future? 9" rear.
Stock to 400 or so HP I believe an 8" would suffice.

Whoa! You wouldnt think a 351W installation would create so much havoc. Sounds like you got it whipped Roy. You think a stroked 302 (347) would be a better route if someone wanted to go more cubes but remain stock in the engine compartment? More cubes is on my long list for the future...as well as a...

Yep... I think those are called "lightening holes".

Nice car...should look real good cruising the Aussie coastline.

I think for a 15" wheel you'd be better off with a shorter 60 series tire. For clearance as well as aesthetics. As far as the width...as much meat as will fit. My car is stock and the biggest I can go on the fronts is 205/60-15. Thats with a 3 3/4" backspace on a 15x7 wheel. 215s on the rear but I t...

Albert, your car is too cool!
