Hi

Not my usual forum because i have an MGB. Very modified 4 cyl race car and i've just found out that the car is fitted with a shortened ford axle with a 9" diff. Not sure what it is out of though. The ratio must be low cause top speed is only approx 170km/h, about a 4.3. My problem is i need a new centre ratio of about 3.9, cause at Phillip Island i'm at top speed at the start of the straight! But as said I don't know about the axle. Are there many differeces between different ford axle fot the diff houseing? Any help would be great.

Thanks
Adam

9 inch also came with 28 and 31 spline axles. The diffs also came with limited slip, detroit locker or open wheeler. As vzgen3 said, there are heaps of different centres available. Best bet would be to see exactly what your diff has had done to it. As

Contact this mob. http://www.quickperformance.com/index.htm

They used to have a really good write up describing virtually every difference with 9" rear ends but they appear to have removed it from their web site. Maybe they could email it to you. http
