Differential

Team321 uses a Ford 8.8 differential used in Thunderbird, Cougar and Lincoln Mark VIII from 1989 - 1997. This differential was chosen due to its wide availability and low price. These differentials are available from your local wrecking yard ( used ) as well as new from Ford Racing. Click HERE to view the details.

A second differential option is a Quick Change IRS differential from Speedway Engineering. Click HERE for more info on this Quick Change differential.
