Re: Ford 9inch read axle
 
That would be the eight inch, you have to reach back into the end
of the Muscle car err for a nine inch, at least back the the seventies
to find them still in trucks.

I have not yet seen it, but was told by the owner it was a 9 inch. What is
the easiest way to confirm it is a 9 inch?

Hi Bill,
A Nine inch uses a third member that can be easily removed from the
pumpkin whole to change ratios: http://www.kevinstang.com/Ninecase.htm
The eight inch will have a cover plate like this Vicky:

If memory serves, my dad's '81 Grand Marquis did not have a 9", so most likely
the '89 Crown Vic would not have had one as well. My brother's '70 Torino does
have one...

The 9" went out of production in the early 80's. It remains a favorite of
Rodders because gear changes can be made more easily than a conventional
axle. Although beefy as Hell, Ford didn't like the extra weight and cost of
the unit. FWIW, Currie's high pinion 9" uses an 8.8" gearset.

The 9" went out of production in the early 80's. It remains a favorite of
Rodders because gear changes can be made more easily than a conventional
axle. Although beefy as Hell, Ford didn't like the extra weight and cost of
the unit. FWIW, Currie's high pinion 9" uses an 8.8" gearset.
