    That's an 8 inch. The third member is the later one, has the extra ribs cast into it.

    Looks like an 8" - and all that blue RTV means somebody was in it recently - which could mean it has something good in it like a traction-lok or a nice ratio gear set.

    :bouncy:

    8 inch, it looks like the 1967 rear end I took out of a 1967 Cougar recently.

    It's an open differential. Not a traction loc.

    It looks like an early housing with a late chunk to me.:huh:

    How many times does the yoke go around to make the wheel spin one complete revolution?

    The chunk is definatly the stronger 68-up version.

    got it painted and looking good...however the drums wont fit...the center hole in the drums that i have are from the original 73 8" rear end and are too small. this rearend need drums with bigger holes in the center...WTF anyone know what size of drums will fit this or what this rearend is?i think the center hole needs to be 2 3/4? instead of 2 1/4 look at the picts and see what you think
