Hey blokes, Quick question, I can get hold of a 1985 , think they were zk or something offhand ??. 351 fmx and 9 inch... ltd v8. My question,,,,,,, Will the diff bolt into xc and is the power steering units the same , I know the pump will probably be rotary and not piston type but will steering box mount up without mods ?
Cheers
Doc

I think you will find the diff is set up for a watts link rear end rather than the leaf springs. As for the power steer, the whole set up will bolt straight into the XC without any problems. Same box as XC, better pump.

You could get lucky and actually be looking at a ZJ Fairlane/FC LTD which would have had leaf springs but a Borg Warner diff from factory. If it is a ZK/FD and a 1985 model (which it probably would not as Ford listed the ZK/FD from 1982-1984) would Edited by user Saturday, 5 April 2008 3:09:37 AM(UTC)
