RE: yes but.....

Sorry, but this one was a 9 inch, had a plain jane 9" pumpkin, not a 9-3/8, and a 31 spline open diff. I matched up the axles with the original 28 spline big bearings, same length. The wear pattern in the spool also showed the correct length, and this is the only rearend it's been in. I had a 66 'Bird at the time, no mistaking the car. To say all cars of a line had such and such is usually kinda risky, I've seen Ford station wagons with 12-bolt GM rearends, and Chevy 4x4's with 9 inch rears- if they ran short, what's available went in. An old friend (now deceased) was a district service engineer and troubleshooter for Lincoln- Mercury, he was the one who tipped me off where to look for 31's. That doesn't mean that they were all 9 inch 'ers, but some were. You shoulda seen the cars he used to bring home, '71 429 SCJ Cougar convertible, white w/ white leather int., 4 spd. & 3.91's was pretty special, but got scrapped for liability reasons. His son cried when it got scrapped, he drove it in the homecoming parade with girls in the back. One son had a '68 Cougar XR7-G w/ 390, his other son's all-original '69 Boss 302 is parked behind my shop right now.
