- Part 5 of project Mut - Rear End Upgrade is the first to go back onto the build. This one is long as it is step by step and done with the help of Mark a seasoned long time Ford rear end and transmission specialist. www.quickperformance.com/
The 1967 Desert Find Mustang gets a rear end upgrade with a 3.55 ring and pinion and traction lock unit from Quick Performance. This is a step by step tear down and build up of a Ford 8" rear end. Gone are the 2.79 freeway peg leg set up replaced by a completely kit from Quick Performance.
undercoating finish. The floor pans, trunk drops, frame rails, etc look fantastic and the patina underneath is preserved.
Project MUT is getting the rest of it's once over. This is the brief intro to one sad pony that shall see the streets again.
Follow along the journey, here we go!
What have we gotten ourselves into at Mustang Connection! This 1967 Ford Mustang has been sitting in the California desert for decades and is currently a sight for sore eyes. We plan on stuffing this thing with some great new products mixed in with some good 'ol swap meet and Craigslist finds to bring this "Mut" back to life. Why project Mut you ask ? well the only 3 letters left on the passenger fender still read MU..T... so as you can see currently a MUT not quite a Mustang just yet.
We already have some great partners on board for one of our most ambitious builds in Mustang Connection history.

Great stuff. Thanks for letting us watch
Nice to watch this. Your friend is great and knows his stuff👍👍
Great video. we just put posi in our 8 inch on our 62 Mercury Meteor with 3.80 gears.
Thank you for(d) this clear and helpfull video. I’ll be doing my 8” ‘66 mustang diff soon so i am glad to have seen this.
Wow great job! 👍🏻
What a great video. I have a '67 Mustang I'll be working on and think I'll rebuild the 8" it has on there with this. Thanks for posting!
Thanks for the informative video, the only experience with the rear end is installing a half shaft, but I really enjoyed this video. Cheers !
great video. I have never built a transmission of differential. But it is mince to see how a professional builds one.
Real good video
Love the video. You guys are great teachers?
That looks like a great set up if you are on a budget and aren't planning on big HP, if memory serves the 8 and 9 inch rear ends use the same axles.
I’ve watched this video probably 15 times end to end. I really want to try it myself, but nervous bc I don’t have a bench Vice.
Very informative video. Thanks for taking the time to do it. One question. I just rebuilt an 8in this weekend for my first attempt. In the kit with all the new bearings it had a new crush sleeve. But upon disassembly it didn't have one. So i didn't use it Now i cant sleep because I think i messed it up. What do you think? Thanks
Any update on this? What type of transmission did your car have? I'm swapping my C4 for an AOD, so trying to decide between 3.55 or 3.80. Mainly for street driving. High revs on highway was reason why I upgraded to AOD. Thoughts?
Great video thanks for posting. How is the axle holding up nearly a year on? I would love to keep my 8" but I keep reading different power ratings online. Curries told me 300bhp max but not sure if this is their way to push the 9" axles they are selling. What power are you currently running through yours
Nice video! What is the part number for that nice aluminum pinion carrier? I can't seem to find it on the Quick Performance web page.
Didn't see the adjustment of the threaded ends on the carrier bearings. How is that adjusted??
Do these not have an oil slinger being the seal?
Great instructional video, but you never showed or explained how to check and set pinion depth. Can you do a segment on this procedure?
what if i ve forgot to mark before disassembling?
