salisbury rearends

salisbury rearends , are they reliable never had one but am considerin tradin a nine inch: for a complete one which mine isnt

 

Keep the nine inch.Salisbury is the British version of ****er.Might find it hard to find parts to service the internals on the Salisbury.

 

The Australian Salisbury's are ok if you have a ten bolt but I would never trade one for a nine inch. The nine inch is the standard as far as non banjos go and still very traditional. Salisbury's can be hard to change ratios as the carrier is part of the housing and the open centre rear ends don't accept the lsd centres

Hundreds of thousands of Jaguars can't be wrong....

 

im missing alot of parts for this and the bearings have been welded on the shafts so all i have is a housing and a set of gears , hard to find everything else axles ,backing plates , ect

 

Neither can millions of full size V8 ford cars and trucks.

Dana (44, I think) ring and pinions fit the Jag rear end, a fact a surprising number of jag "mechanics" don't know. I think the Salisburys in Land Rovers will take a Dana ring, pinion and diff too.

But a 9" Ford is a better rear end than any of these.

 

guess id better start looking for axels and backing plates huh

 

Greetings! The big advantage for the Ford 9" is adaptability: If you want to race, in a few minutes you can swap in a pumpkin with some serious gears, if you want to cruise, swap in a pumpkin with some "legs". Because of this versatility, the "9" is also usually cheaper to build.

 

this is gonna be a mostly street driven 56 , with a 302 and a c4 behind it stock for the most part ,

 

well after doing some research this rearend turns out to be a early 60- 66 galaxy 31 spline rearend yep im keepin it ,,,

 

And as a guy that has had many rovers from '52 to '99 I can say that rovers are great rigs with many typical British problems. The running gear is always rock solid though.
That being said, the 302 going into the 56 is capable of putting out a lot more power than the rovers make.
The 9" is a much better choice for a street rod.

 

i agree ,, thanks

waddya mean , savoyjfas????????

 

I have a 9" **** in my F100, 5 on 5-1/2" pattern, out of a '60 Ford pickup. It was a 'bolt-in' for my '55.

You probably should look for a '57 thru '59 Ford p***enger car rear, for the width.
Don't set on a Ranchero or station wagon...they retain value, as the bearings and hub flanges are larger. (they use 1/2" bolts to bolt the backing plates to the flanges, easy to spot)
Beauty of the '57-'59 p***. car is the spread of the spring pads. (bolt-in to your '56)

I also have a 9-inch in my '54 Ford Coupe. (it's out of a '65 Ford pickup, but has been narrowed; strong for 406 and heavy duty top loader trans.)

Use the 9 inch. They're still around...

 

The Salisbury guys had to figure out how to make steel go farther by mounting the pinion and carrier directly into the axle housing. Then they worked on making steak go farther...

 

theyre just not all that plentiful. this early 60,s one will do for me once i find the rest of the parts ,someone out there outta be able to help
