ford 8"


Well i going to put a built 302 in my 71 mustang and was wondering if the 8" rear is going to hold up? Is it worth putting money into the rear end? I really dont have the $$$ to put a 9" in it right now.

Any help would be great...

Welcome to MM Forums...

A 8" is just fine for a 302, if it is not wore out it will handle any 302.

9" is more for 351 and bigger or 350hp + with drag slicks

On that note, what rear end came stock in a 68 coupe with a 289?
