Yeah, they did - and as high as 4.10. Chances of finding anything more then a 3.55 will be more difficult then the proverbial hen's teeth.

The last couple of years of Pinto wagons - yes, Pinto's had 3.40's as did the 250 ci, 4spd Granada's. A 200 ci Granada(and of course the Monarch) with a 4 spd had 3.55's. Most Mavericks/Comets had 2.79 or 3.00 gears (I have one very nice complete center set each of them I've been trying to sell).

With Granada's, some V8 C4 versions had the GM style, drop out the back as well and useless as far as a rod is concerned.

Best tho - is aftermarket - they don't have 30 years worth of wear
