Title: Diff Ratio
Post by GrumpyOne on May 30^th, 2009, 12:30am

Hi

My first question of no doubt many :D

Would anyone happen to know the diff ratio of the Scorpio 24V circa 1998?
And would a bellhousing from a 2.8 fit the 2.9 24V?

Thanks
Colin

Thanks for that, I looked in the technical section several times and completly missed the rear axle section ??? must be old age.

Any ideas about the 2.8 bellhousing?

Cheers
Colin

Yep, the type 9 bellhousing bolts straight on to the 24v - but the torque and BHP output of the 24V will turn your gearbox to jelly in moments unless you drive like a granny and never go over 3200 rpm ;D

Better off sourcing a RWD converted MT75 box from someone like XR4i Spares or Capri Club International
