    Ford 9" rear

     



    I'm thinking of someday swapping out my 10 bolt GM rear for a ford 9". I will be using 300-308 gears. What gear ratio range rear do I look for to be able to use those gears If I don't find one with those gears?

    If you get a 9", you can have any ratio you want. DTS will build you any width, gear and brakes you want, among others. Just do a search for Ford 9", the web is your friend....

    The most common ratio for the 9" is 3.00/1 in passenger car applications.

    3.10 was a pretty common stock gear for those
    I remember when hot rods were all home made.

    Thanks guys,

    I am not a ford rear guy but I was under the impression that the carriers were different for different gear ratio ranges. Maybe not, please inform.

    Speedway has tons of stuff for the 9"

    9 Inch Ford Pro Ring & Pinion Gears

    They go from 3.5 up to 6.5 gear ratio for around $150

    I just put rear disc brakes on my 8 inch for less then 1/2 what you would pay for some of the kits out there. They would also work on 9 inch with the small bearing - just ask if you want more info.
