Identify this rear end

Yes, it's a Ford 9". That much I know. It came out of some fox body road racer. I'm considering using it for my Valiant but want to know what the heck the thing is especially the disc brake, weird looking outer hub side of things. May be more trouble than it's worth but it looks to be built like a tank.

You absolutely sure it's a 9? Ferd made an 8" that is very similar, as well as a larger on (big Linc) 9 1/2?.

To separate the 8" from the 9", there's one bolt below the pinion. IF you can get a socket and extension on the bottom bolt, it's an 8, not a 9. The 9" requires a combo wrench on the one bolt.

Below is 9"



To me that thing looks like a LOT of hard work. You'll have to remove all the 4 link junk, and I have no idea what you'll need to do with those hubs. Looks like a lot of trouble. Hope you didn't pay much for it.
