How can I tell if a diff is a 3.9 ratio.

I'm sure there's someone out there that can tell me what to look for or, possiby the number of teeth? Unable to get to the pini...

Thank you Cam for your pics and comments. However, it should be noted the MMOC had a stand that was nearly twice the size of the Morris LCV Register hence the more space for vehicles. The people on the LCV stand also gave their time FOC. They also let people look at the vehicles, open the bonnets et...

Although I enjoyed the MMOC stand I prefered the LCV stand.

The vehicles weren't chained off and you could freely roam and talk with the people/owners of the vehicles. Seemed a lot more relaxed.

I'll be there but on the Minor LCV Register stand. It's directly across from the MMOC stand.

Should see some of you there.

If only I could Ferrari Power my LCV this way?

If I'd won the Euro Millions just think what my LCV Van could look and go like..... See off a few Zetec powered ones I'm sure.! :D

Just take a look.

Thanks for all you comments, very helpful but I'm still undecided. As it is, I already have a 3.7 diff. Paid £75 for it some time ago. I also already have a ford 5 speed that I accquired some time ago for £10 including the yoke and, before you say it probably needs reconditioning, it doesn't, I drov...

It would be interesting to know what suspension it's using. Macpherson Struts it look like.

I also wonder how it stacks up against a Zetec?

I'm in the proces of collecting all sorts of items for the restoration of a Austin Pick-Up which will receive an MG 1275 engine and a suitable 5 Speed gearbox along with a suitable diff. (3.7 or 3.9) The choice seems to be between 2 makes of which there are pro and cons for both. 1) Ford type 9 gear...
