- 1973 Convertible, matching #'s H Code, Auto
Hello,
I have a 73 convertible with a 351 C, 2V with a C6 auto and the original open rear end, conventional w/ 2.75 gears. Drum brakes. Curious is there an entire rear axle assembly out of another Ford product that would bolt right in ? Looking for disc brakes, higher gear ratio ... up to 3.55, and a limited slip/posi rear. How high could I go on the gears without causing issues with the C6 and rpm's ? No plans to significantly up the horsepower in the motor, maybe some light HP increases but nothing great. Thanks for your help.
