depends on what you want to do with it. it is not the most desirable Ford rear out there that is for sure. but behind a stock flathead it will probably live for ever. anything else and it would be a waste of time to install.

Similar WCL rear ends were used on early 260 V8 1965 Mustangs (before 8/23/64), 1963/65 Falcons w/260/289's. WCL series used only 1962/65.
While the ring gear is 7 3/4" Ford classified this rear end as an 8 inch, which is the smaller brother to the 9 inch.
