Gonna try this first, before shelling the $$ out for a new gear set and re-build. An unexpected trans re-build has set me back. With all the vintage cars gone, is there a list of what cars have the CC I need/want?
Thanks

Pinto wagons and Mustang IIs. Usually 3.25s or better.
Most Junk Yard operators won't charge much...as long as you don't tell 'em what it's for.

also V8 Mavericks. Possibly Mavericks with the BigSix (250) but Im not positive they had the 8 inch rear. Someone else will know. If they want more than 75 for a Maverick or MII rear chunk its too much.

How do you tell if it's a posi unit of those cars? I need an 8" posi unit to go with my 3:40 gears, but I don't want to spend big bucks (I know, good luck, right).

Try an older station wagon. I got a set out of a 63 Fairlane wagon. Didn't know what they were. I wanted the housing. The spring perches were off though, so it was no use to me. I think 3.25/3.50 gears were the standard on early 60's V8 cars with the 8".

I would look for mid to late 60's Falcons, Comets and Ranchero's and mid size wagons (Fairlane) for a 3.25 ratio 8 inch. Most of the Mavericks and Mustangs 2's came with 2.75 or 3.00's for 8 inchers (other ratios mainly came with the integral carrier type also used in them behind the 4 and 6 cyl cars).
