1986 Ford Van parts for a F1?
 

I am looking for a 351, c4 and 9in for my F1 and found a 1986 Ford econoline Van for $400. Says it has a 351. Anyone know the width of the 9in on these things? Thanks for the help. I am new on here and loving the talks.

Never mind just found my answer....


Too Wide -

67 Fairlane- 63 " (coil springs)
'72 Ford Van 3/4 ton- 68 inches
'73-86 Ford Vans- 65 "

Good post if you need to know what 9in's to pull - 1948 through 1960 Ford F-1 and F-100 Rear Axle (differential) Swaps .: Articles

That's an awesome sight it helped me to find the 9 in. I got for my f1. Oh ya,....welcome!

In addition to the axle being too wide, I can tell you that you've got to REALLY want an engine out of a van to make it worth the pain and effort of getting it out. It's not a good time. That's not a terrible deal, but you could probably do better or just as well with a pickup that will be easier to disassemble if you keep looking.
