'67 Merc rear end
By Boyd - 10/24/2001 7:36:41 PM; IP 63.10.182.68
I've got a 2.80:1 rear end in a '67 Marquis. The engine code says that it's a locking rear end. Is this rear end worth changing the ring and pinion to a 3.50:1 or something with a little more get up and go? I've heard that Ford changed their locking rear ends after '67. Is this true? I'm in the middle of rebuilding the 410 in this car and I plan to beef it up a little and don't want to waste my time on this rear end if it isn't worth a crap.
This thread, so far...
