02 v6...can I install a Ford 9" rear-end?

itschristorres8 · January 3rd, 2007, 08:49 PM

i dont think so...im not 100% on it. but ive heard the biggest you can go is 8.8

GreenFaleen · January 3rd, 2007, 09:07 PM

I think you could do it with some fabrication but the 8.8 is all you need.

itschristorres8 · January 3rd, 2007, 09:15 PM

yea the 8.8 built up will last for enough hp you'll probably want...

Youngin · January 3rd, 2007, 09:16 PM

id have to say i looked at the mirror my rear end looks okay. but then again my mirror is cracked . honestly it is

AtlanticBlue99 · January 3rd, 2007, 09:17 PM

you could install a 9" rear, but an 8.8" rear with moser 31 splines and an auburn posi will hold all the power a v6 will throw at it.

Youngin · January 3rd, 2007, 09:18 PM

nice wb AB but everyone goes 8.8 =T

postie · January 3rd, 2007, 10:02 PM

I was just thinking how easy it might be to round up a decent 9" from most any junkyard on earth and throw it on...no clue what would be involved...

What would be the downside?

chrish91286 · January 3rd, 2007, 10:56 PM

it would be havier than the 8.8 but no by a whole lot but for a v6 you dont need anything more than the 8.8. a built 8.8 can handle up to about 700rwhp which equates to about a thousand hp motor which...... a v6 will never make at least not one built by ford

postie · January 4th, 2007, 12:24 AM

But...wouldn't it be more economical <cheaper sounds, well...cheap> lol to gather up the 9 that there are millions of (older ones, of course) instead of working with the 7.5 or hunting a newer 8.8? Should be able to find a 9 with the 4:10 gears and posi already intact, you think?

Onemanzu · January 4th, 2007, 12:29 AM

give it a shot look at online scrappers and see if you can locate one in your area

trueballerisme · January 4th, 2007, 12:30 AM

when should i build my rear? for what reasons? and would it be good to build it now?

Onemanzu · January 4th, 2007, 12:34 AM

well get the rear end if your tired of one wheeled burn outs... and if your concerend about tire wear...

any time is a good time... you can never go wrong with a better gear ratio... or posi

and if you have the money this is one of the first mods i would recomend

Cricket · January 4th, 2007, 12:34 AM

If you plan on makin your car a high power application do it asap so you don't have to worry about it. You do it because the 7.5 is rather weak, and can be easily broken.

trueballerisme · January 4th, 2007, 12:41 AM

well im a daily driver so i dont know if im gonna be putting Tons of hp in it. maybe 450 way later. MAYBE

Cricket · January 4th, 2007, 12:47 AM

450 is too much for the 7.5...a full bolt on car with some slicks would be too much also.

itschristorres8 · January 4th, 2007, 12:50 AM

full bolt on with slicks...i doubt it. darell jus said that he had a 13 second car on slicks that had a 7.5 that handle it nicely
heads and cam...different story

Cricket · January 4th, 2007, 12:59 AM

hmm I missed that post.

itschristorres8 · January 4th, 2007, 01:09 AM

i know darell knows his stuff...hell i thought that just a few bolt ons a slicks would F*** up the 7.5

QuEeNiEsTaNg · January 4th, 2007, 01:30 AM

here is a general question I guess, which rear ends have Posi? or can they all come with it? Im not a rear end girl, Im a motor girl, but I have posi so what rear end would I most likely have? I just dont feel like doing it the old school way and putting it on jackstands ands all that shit and figuring it out. Thats the only way we found out my 88 chevy 350 silverado stepside truck had different rear end (4:10 in the rear) than the front

Like I said im a complete blonde with rear ends
