I have a 68 Shelby GT 350 4 speed car. I am thinking about changing the rear gear, or whole center section, to a more highway friendly gear (currently 3:89). I figure I will have to pull an axle to see if it is 28 spline or not but I thought I would ask you guys. Is it safe to assume I have a 28 spline rear end or did Ford use the 31 spline axles very often?
Any 31 spline axles used in 68?

That method won't work for identifying, there are plenty of 28 spline axles that have the two holes and dimple in center.

here is a good link for rear end info....
from what I can remember, 428, boss302 and boss429 cars got the 31 spline axles...along with the rare 427 cars.
There were also earlier passenger cars with big blocks that got these 31 spliners....

Bad Gas, What now?
Vintage Mustang ForumSo, I'm a bit uncertain of how long my 66 car sat before I obtained it. But I know for sure it was atleast 3 years. How many times it was ran, I'm not sure. Anyhow, after a small carb mishap (some of you may have seen my other thread), I noticed when I tore the carb down there was a significant...- 21

Trying to determine what front spring rate I need. Where do I start?
Vintage Mustang ForumOk, To clarify...this is why I am asking: This is the car with the engine and trans in place...fenders and other body pieces on the front clip are not yet on...but I don't think all that is going to change things by more than about 50lbs. Now obviously the car is far from the point of being...- 6
