Escort diffs
Have BEC with Blackbird engine running escort axle.
Currently fitted with 3.9 diff ratio - far too many revs at motorway speeds.
Anybody know the tallest diff ratio available for this axle please?

3.54 is the 'standard' tallest diff. Probably others specially made that are taller.

But fit an atlas axle (capri/cortina) and you can have a 3.08:1 (2.8i capri) Bear in mind there is a "baby atlas" same width as english
axle which takes the same cwp/diff etc but was fitted to the mk1 capri 3 ltr.

Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

Thanks for the info guys.
Sounds as tho 3.54 is as good as it gets without resorting to major changes.
Out of interest, was the 'baby atlas' in the 3L capri also a 3.08 ratio as standard?
