Hey, I have a 1995 T-bird (auto) V8 LX car. I am currently changing a lot of things in the car, and I have a question about the rear end.
I have a 1995 Mark VIII LSC with a "posi" or trak-loc rear in it (rear disk as well). I also have a 1994 SC rear with from what I understand should also have a trak-loc or "posi" rear in it (also has disk brakes).
I want to upgrade the rear in my LX car, but I am wondering what I should expect as far as rear gearing from either the SC or the Mark VIII. Did these cars usually come with a more common gear ratio? and, What is it? Will the Mark rear lend itself to being a direct bolt in? I would figure the SC would have the better performance geared rear end rather than the Mark car, but may be they have the same? Can anyone email me with any input on this and or point me in the right direction? I have not pulled the rears from the cars yet so I can not run the numbers on the tag if there are any. Would the VIN numbers be of any help (I can't imagine they would be).
My email is mercury267@juno.com
I know I would like to use the 1 piece alumn. drive shaft from a 1993 Mark VIII, so if anyone has one or knows where to get one, that would be great to hear also.
Thank you,

The SC and the Mark are being (slowly but surely) parted out, so if you need something cantact me.
