Stripped the 39 LZ rear end I bought yesterday...looks good; the bits I want....I run a Columbia in my V8, which is lowered. This tends to permit lubricant to run forward down the torque tube. As the Zephyr diff is hypoid, my thoughts are to run that banjo and the gearing, coupled to my existing Columbia and Ford housings, which will set the torque tube at a better angle. Looks like all I'll need to modify is the driveshaft and torque tube. And drill a coupla holes in each bell to suit the banjo.The LZ gearing is 4.44:1, currently my Columbia is running 4.11:1, and I'm running LZ gears in the trans. Gotta try these things. What a fantastic hobby, I never tire of playing old Fords!
