Drivetrain advice for engine swap

Rangers and Explorers are 8.8's and have axle tube to housing problems. As far as a '70s Mustang 9" I think you will have better luck finding an 8 3/4 out of an a-body. Most Mustangs had 8" rears and the 9" ones fetch more dollars than an a-body 8 3/4. Although c clip rears are my less favorite an 8 1/4 is plenty up to the task of a mild street car. I have one in my BB Cordoba and it is still alive.
