?????
Can a 3.08 L/S carrier from an '81 Mustang be adapted to fit 3.73 gears
in an '84 Bronco II?
?????

You would be just as well to go buy a 3.73 rear end from the junk yard.
There is a yard around here (sw MI) that sells them for about $75. These are
from Rangers or BII's.

I'm not so lucky out here in western Canada. The wrecking yards RARELY get
anything lower than 3.45 carriers, and they usually want at least $350 for
those.

I have the complete Mustang rear, but I want to try putting the L/S unit into my
housing. I'm wondering if a spacer(ugh!) can be used to put the 3.73 gears on
the 3.08 carrier. At the cost for the proper L/S carrier, I could probably swap
in the 8" rear axle from a '76 Comet that I have lying around....

I wish I knew of such a place. When I lost my rear end another from a junkyard
was $650, used. 1988 Bronco 2, 3.45 LS.

**** Glad I stayed in MI... Seriously though, they have to be out there. The
yard I go to is smaller, but he has a lot of Ford stuff (Ford guy
owns/operates it), maybe it is just because I am a Ford guy too?!! When I
blew the rear out of my 302 T-Bird I bought another 7.5 for $75 with the
trac-lok in it. I am going to put a 3.73 rear in my 88 Ranger soon and he
told me the same $75 for that too. I did buy an 8.8" (with rear disk) and
all of the front brake stuff from an LSC for $200, so the 8.8 is a little
more. But he knows the value of a return customer, let me tell you I am
there a lot.

Sound like your got a deal... The local shop that I like here is Called
Westcotts Trucks. I got a 5.8L and an AOD for $1800 there with 55,000 miles on
it. I plan to get it into my old ranger, just as soon as I am not doing 16 units
of college while working 50 hours per week.

I took my $650 3.45 LS rear end down to Papola's and they re-geared it for me. I
got both my front and rear diffs re-geared for $1500. The Dana 28 in the front
had seen better days, so a lot of money was spent to re-build much of it. I went
to 4.10s since I drive a 5 speed with 31" tires. Boy, did that make a
difference. Gears and headers. The two largest differences you can make to a
car.

Time, where is the time?

I'd like to pick up a used, low milage 2.9 just in case the bronco II ever gives
up the ghost. I have to get to school and work, you know!
