RE: 9 inch N case carrier for my Fe |

There is a good possibility that you will find the most easily obtainable N cases under a Bronco. They were used in a lot of trucks too. Not all N cases have the N on them, just look for two vertical ribs. Thats not the end of it either, there were many versions of "double ribs", only one was the desirable case. The imposters have the ribs end in the same thickness and gradual slope. The nodular are easily identified by the ends of the ribs ending in a "elephants" foot for want of a better term. They are much beefier than the standard rib. Now there are many out there that have what they call the Daytona pinion support. This is spotted by the machined surface around where the 5 bolts go through the retainer into the housing. These used a larger bearing on the pinion than standard (one of them anyway). The best and I wish you well finding one of these is the one with nodular caps with a N on them. This is what came on my 427 Fairlane, so if you spot one of these, kiss the sky. Most of the earlier N cases had a 3-1/16ths side carrier brg, and later cases had a 2-7/8ths. Happy hunting |
