I ordered a 9" rear end from Currie with a Traction-Lok center section with 3.70 gears and 31-spline heavy duty axles/housings. I have the stock 8" open rear end with 3.00 gears in it right now with the stock driveshaft. My question is: Can I use my original driveshaft with the new rear end? Or what all will I have to do to make them work together? I'm in a state of urgency because it is going to be here any time along with my new heavy duty leaf springs! Please help! Thanks in advance!!!

Sorry, I don't really know. Just didn't want to leave you hanging. Is it a specific replacement for a mustang? Most race car stuff is all fabricated, meaning welding and cutting. I think it should go straight in. If the leaf spring mounts are in the stock location, it should bolt right up. The stock driveshaft will probably not work. If I remember right the 9 inch pumpkin sticks out further. Shortening or lengthening the driveshaft is no problem for any drivetrain specialist. You might want to put up a post in the Classic mustang section of this website. I don't think anyone here has much experience with 9 inch rear ends, cause the 8.8's can take a beating. Good Luck! Anyone else know?
