Started on my 51 stude bus. coupe. Need rear end

[royvaldez]

Looking at Dave Carters web site. He states that he put a lark TT rear end. I am running a 289 R1 motor. Putting a 200 R4 Chevy auto transimission. Any one have a up dated Lark rear end to sell. Any recommendation on Ratio. Thanks again for giving me Bud, who is now rebuilding my distributor. Trying to get ready for the zone meet in Sacramento on May 16 to 19,2014.

Note, It is going under a 51 Bus. Coupe. This car is a Q2. It came with an automatic from the factory. It has the original rear end gear for flat head 6. This rear end could be a 3:56 or 4:09.

Ford 8" 3.25 gears!
You will save a pile of money, and end up with a way better rear end that you will absolutely love!
Good Roads

Oh and it is a bolt in!

What donor Ford? I'm guessing either a 1964-65 V8 Falcon/Comet/1965-66 Mustang V8 (same exact animal) or a 1962-65 Fairlane/Meteor drum to drum?

Look at a Ranger, most any year 2 wheel drive. With some scouting you can even hit the indestructable 9" in the earlier ones. I am told they are a bolt in to most Studes. Steve

Remember that 51-52 is narrower than 53 and up.

I have a 1969 Dart 8 3/4 in my 51.
