jamie247 542 Posted May 25, 2013 hey guys would a f100 81-87 model 9 inch diff fit into a xe I got a mate that knows a guy who has one complete disc to disc for $750 but I need to act fast Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jamie247 542 Posted May 25, 2013 and it's a 31 spline 3.25 ratio Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ILIED 316 Posted May 25, 2013 Nah man, it'd need modding like fuck. It's way too long. it's leaf spring. You could cut down the axletubes, then the axles, then redrill the PCD and turn down the spigot, then weld on new brackets. Not a 10 min job Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jamie247 542 Posted May 25, 2013 ok cheers bud i'll have to find a 9inch to suit then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ILIED 316 Posted May 26, 2013 There's one on ebay, dear as fuck.Consider getting one built.I'm in the same position, if you get prices, post them here, I'll do the same Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jamie247 542 Posted May 26, 2013 ok bud yeah by the time you get the housing then the centre and splines etc it's a hefty expense but well worth it man you cannot break em Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jamie247 542 Posted May 26, 2013 I sent him a message and this is what he said Well yes. But if you currently have a drum brake rear then you will need to change the brake master cylinder to a disc rear type, and you will need a disc type hand brake cable. Then depending on what your current diff gear ratio is and the ratio of the 9 inch centre you use you may need to have the speedo reset to suit.But yes this is a straight bolt on conversion to suit.

ILIED 316 Posted May 26, 2013 Yep. I'd still shop around. Also, one thing he didn't mention is that it's made for the E-series. It's no big deal, but their brake lines are metric, ours are imperial. Speak to XM-221, he knows a guy who makes the perfect hose for the job. Personally I wouldnt use this, I see no reason to go to a 9" and keep 28spline axles. At the very least you'd want 31. Mate Jonesy was down into the low nines using modified factory F100 axles. I'll be going for 35spline axles, so I'll be looking for a house with the axle tubes and bearings to suit.

jamie247 542 Posted May 26, 2013 wonder where you can buy a complete kit diff the whole lot for ford xe i'm going a 393 so I want a 9 inch and maybe t5 or toplaoder to suit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ILIED 316 Posted May 26, 2013 T5? Maybe TKO, I'm not sure a T5 would take the torque. Dunno Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jamie247 542 Posted May 26, 2013 just got onto rocket they have diffs/gearboxes etc i'm thinking a tko amd disc rear diff of some sort couldn't be bothered hunting a 2nd had el t5 or diff so i'll just buy new I think then I know what I got may even buy my engine through them also Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ILIED 316 Posted May 26, 2013 TKO500 will have the same input shaft as TL. TKO600 will be a 26 spliner, special clutch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jamie247 542 Posted May 26, 2013 probably b tko500 I don't know shit about doing this conversion let me tell you all new to me I can do brakes etc but drivelines just confuse me LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ILIED 316 Posted May 26, 2013 I had a TKO500, but sold it, was a direct replacement for TL. even had a new yoke cos it has 31spline outputshaft.You should be able to get one to simply bolt in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thom 6,650 Posted June 4, 2013 Tko 600 uses big block Chevy input shaft Sunbury brakes online can do clutches for them as well as Paul mulchae from extreme clutch and brake in bendigo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
noddy 451 Posted June 4, 2013 I know some one selling a 9" disc brake 3.0 LSD that would drop straight in for $1100 if you really want leaf diff from a xe ute Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
noddy 451 Posted June 4, 2013 Got to remember too a 9" takes 40 horse to turn when you can go better and easier set up with a xh ute diff I have one in my ute spent 2 hours dropping it in yeah 9" are great dont get me wrong but not needed unless you're making big torque I run a Detroit trutrac LSD in my effy as I was blunting and rolling over teeth in stock LSD centers just my opinion but take the easier cheaper route as a 9" for you're set up would e over kill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
