I'm looking for suggestions/advice as to the best person or shop to rebuild the 7 1/4" 3:23 differential in my 65 Formula S. Currently there are no mechanical problems with the rear, but I do have a SureGrip unit I would like to add to the current non SureGrip rear end during a rebuild.
I leave transmissions and rear end rebuilding to those with experience and the tools for the job. And, after reading the maintenance manual and discovering the case requires a special tool to expand the casing up to .020" to remove the gears, I am convinced my decision is a correct one.
I'm not interested in upgrading to other rears....my plan is to keep the car as original as possible. I have already rebuilt the ball and trunion joint on the front of the driveshaft........so you know I must be serious about rebuilding and using the original rear.
Any suggestions would be appreciated....I live in northwestern Virginia, about 70 miles west of Washington DC
Thanks, Pat
