Help With 7.5 rearend! - Ford Forums

I am looking for a reasonable way to lock a 7.5 rearend on an 86 mustang. I was looking for a mini spool to do this but have been unable to find one for a 7.5 ford rearend. I know that the gears can be welded but don't want to have to do that if possible. Please help with any other suggestions. Thanks.

Try this from Ford Racing. Ford Performance Mustang V-6 7.5" Gear Set(281) 261-6244

Thanks for your input. I got lucky and found a mustang with an 8.8 rear end in it with a locking mechanism already installed. Do you think that it will just swap over in place of the 7.5? I am going to change the complete rearend.

Direct fit!

If it has disc brakes, it will have different wheel offset and require a master cylinder/proportioning valve upgrade.
