    Hi , i am looking for a centersection that fits these rear end.
    I am looking for one that has the pinion support.

    I want an early (32-34) rear with a strong center section.

    Any Ideas?

    The "V8" style quick change bolts into the 1935 / '48 rear ends.
    The '32 rear end uses the model A style quick change.
    The 1933 / '34 rear end does not lend itself well to a quick change conversion.
     
  3. Not your question but remember that depending upon the year of your car you may need to rework the suspension to clear the rear spring where it goes over the quick change.

    There have been a number of expert posts on here and on Ford Barn about reworking '35-48 rings and pinions to fit '32-4 rear ends. That may or may not be a total answer for you but it would give you a flying start and identify the issues for you.
    I suspect that rear was wholly ignored by the QC people because the A-B type QC held out fine long after WWII and was only gradually supplanted by the V8 QC in compe***ion.
    Another route, ***uming good machining and welding capacity...have you had the opportunity to study a Fabricated QC made from a Ford banjo?? The process is conceptually quite simple, though it of course requires LOTS of fabrication skill. The same process used on the '35-48 types (I have one down in the ba*****t) would work just as well on the earlier rear. This really requires nothing except Ford parts, steel plate, and standard type change gears.
