nismo.capri Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Most diffs need big time mods to fit. Ie, mounts shifted, axles shortened and housings shortened, plus stud pattern changed in some cases. For all that to be done your looking $1g if you can find someone to do it cheap. $1G is cheap Take my mustang diff off me for $240, you wont break it and it has shocks already on it. Its been in a mk2 before. That's the cheap easy option! ....if fact if Mk2 GT doesn't want it I'd be hell keen to put it in the back of my Mk1 van!

Gaz Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Yeah 1g is cheap. Quote to do the above to my hilux was $1500+ from diffs R us in Aucks. Ill get some Shipping prices cause im sure they will turn you both off as its heavy. If he doesnt want it Ill do a swap for those lifters + cash if youve still got them.

Don't worry about pricing up the shipping for me I have that sorted as long as you don't mind getting it to the mainfreight depot. Yeah still got the rollers and would be keen for a trade deal.

Gaz Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 They had bigger drums but thats the only differance. The mustang one has already been restuded for Ford stud pattern. Im pretty sure its bolt in. Ill measure mounting distances between leaf spring mounts, between shocks, between drum face, and diff ofset. Ill leave the rest up to you to measure and confirm on your end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Sorry I took ages. Here is what info I could get and a few pics. Pretty close aproxs Total weight is 90-100kgs Centre to centre shock mounting = 760mm Centre to centre Leave mounts = 940mm Stud pattern = 4x108 Couldnt get overall width at this time as the axles are out and I was in a hurry, may be able to get these at a later date. Would prob be slightly differant when you mount disc brakes on it anyway. The place where axle was shortened and welded is gettinbg surface rust, as is the spline. Not too bad at all tho. def still usable. The diff ratio from memory is 2.84:1 or thereabouts. Aparently a sought after head for the hotrod boys.

J2Racing Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I know this is slightyly off topic. MK4 zephyr head will bolt into a seria housing . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Sierra is independant rear end so no good for an escort without major structural changes to chassis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2Racing Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 For sure but it's a handy thing to have in the back of the brain for a rainy day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
