Swooping a diff for my 68 mustang for $100. Not bad for 31 spline 373 gears and disc brakes. Holla!

Very cool, but isn't that rearend off center, in other words one axle is longer than the other?
I seem to recall there was some reason why people typically avoid these for Mustang swaps?
How does the length compare to a fox 8.8?

the 8" is an offset pumpkin as well.
for classics, these are an amazing swap. to swap one of these into a fox body, it would be a helluva lot more work.
not sure on the width. but a 67-68 mustang is 59.5" in axle width ( i think? i'd have to go measure ) but i believe the explorer rear end is 60". so it adds a little more stance, but its perfect on these cars.
on a 65-66. this swap is not as easy. and the 69-70. the axle looks a little too small, but can be made to work.

What he said^ I have heard of people switching out the internals but I think its with the sn95 rear end.
