I have a Gen II V8 and plan to convert to a Gen I differential housing with the corresponding Gen I CV axles shafts so that I can install a Ford 8.8" LSD carrier assembly. The Gen II V8 differential has a 3.58 gear ratio. IIRC, the Gen I differentials had three different gear ratios; 3.07 for the V6 manual trany, 3.31 for the V8 and 3.58 for the V6 automatic (it may have also been used in early 2000 V8 with the Sport package).
My question - Is there just one Gen I differential housing for both the V6 and V8 cars? I do know that both the V6 and V8 Gen I cars use the same left and right CV axle shafts assemblies.
If there is just one housing and I want to keep the 3.58 gear ratio, then I should be looking for a low mileage V6 automatic differential with the 3.58 gear ratio, correct?
