Want something that will give you good cruising revs or something that will help cut a good time down the strip?

9" if your doing a full house motor with that restoration and want something tuff, if not a std type BW with say a 2.92 or therebouts ratio will mean nice highway gears.

join on up @ www.perthfalcons.com.au and ask over there also, hope this helps.

Depends on what size wheels you are looking to run on the rear , you can get either a disc 9" from XB or XC or XC/XD disc brake borgwarner. The later diffs are 1.5" wider
