Ok dudes. I'm gonna bid on those diffs if that's cool. My [highly original] ebay name is Liampope so don't go trying to outbid me (unless you really want to).

I have 3.62s at the moment but am of the opinion, since I'm using a higher revving engine than the donor, that I may want to play with 3.92s at a later date. It ought to be relatively easy to make a 3.92 rear by swapping crownwheels/pinions when the time comes so I'm happy for the rear diff to go to someone who really wants it right now. But this is the first time i've ever seen a 3.92 front diff for sale for good money so I reeeally want to just get this in the bank for later so to speak!

If I win then there'll be a 3.92 rear lsd for sale. What should I bid to, anyone?

Oooh - just had a thought - I better ask the guy if the flanges are still in...

Oh i forgot - assuming all goes to plan, does whoever is having the rear diff want to go collect the two =). Only I live a couple of hunred miles from Newcastle. If not I can probably get a mate in Newc to get them for me.

TT - do you happen to know (of course you do) if the 3.92 front is identical externally to the 3.62? No different attatchments, bulges, different prop flange or whatever? Same shafts and all that? Cheers

Diff Ratio

I've been to the local Ford Dealer and he let me copy all his microfiche. There is absolutely no mention of any other 4x4 diff ratio than 3.62:1. I have seen many 4x4 diffs, Escort Cosworth, Sierra 2.0, XR4x4, Granada etc and I've never seen any other ratio either. - So many, I never even check the ratio any more.

I have put together everything I've found, there are several web pages of all the Ford part numbers / FINIS numbers and drawings in case you are really interested at http://www.super7thheaven.co.uk

So unless Ford made a diff that wasn't listed in their standard spare parts inventory, I reckon there really is only 1 ratio.
There maybe other ratios available as 'special' motorsport parts (I didn't see those catalogs), but according to the man at Ford and all his 'spares' catalogs, not as standard fitment items.

Hope that helps

Hello and welcome to the forum! Way to ressurect a 6-year old post . I can't even remember those events - lol. I obviously didn't bid/win, because I ended up breaking a whole 2 litre XR4x4 to get my 3.92s. For your information, 2.0 DOHC Sierra XR4x4 does indeed have 3.92 ratio diffs. I have them. It also has the much better tubular front prop as fitted to Cossies (as opposed to the solid shaft on the V6 XR4x4s). Also has a four-pot fitting 4x4 MT75 that you can sell on with added Cossie tax .
