That is a super tight fit in your 66, Tom.

I've never done that swap but it does look like a is involved.Explorer rear end has been chopped and welded. Working today on axles, bearings and seals.
For a relatively simple swap, this thing has taken more work, time and money than anyone ever lets on.

I think you hit the nail on the head with it being a bargain at around $500. It's like anything else, if you are willing to make up the cost of buying something ready to go with your own labor. In this case, you are saving a big chunk of cash for all the troubles.Man, it really has been. Everyone acts like it's clicking Lego together, but it's been a pretty long road and it still isn't done.
I'm considering working up a thread about the untold story of what it takes to get one of these things under an old mustang, totaling all of the things you have to cut off, weld on, press in, bolt on and the expense involved. It's so tempting when the whole rear can be had for +/- $120, but after all the work and parts, I'll probably have well over $500 in it before I'm done. Still a bargain for what you get but not nearly as cheap and easy as it sounds. Not to mention the question mark involved in getting the E-brake to work. That'll probably be kind of fun though. We'll see.

Looks nice. The Fitech is really nice to drive once its finished learning.
The only thing I gotta figure out now is the stiff throttle. It's either idle or half throttle. How do you have your throttle linkage setup for yours? Pretty sure I need to move my throttle arm to the top hole for the linkage on the throttle body

Tonight I will be reassembling everything I put together over the weekend only to have to take apart because of a faulty new part. Hopefully, it will take a total of only three days to get a days worth of work completed now. Word of advice which I typically follow but failed to this time. Test EVERY part before you install it. A bad turn signal switch cost me dearly. It's not like I'm in a time-crunch or anything!
