Ford 9" is the 'Hot Rodder's' Standard, just like a Chevy Small Block was/is for engines. It is not so much the center section as the axles just like it was bell housings for the small block.Nice car, but "3.73 posi Ford rear axle"....THOSE ARE CHEVY GEARS!...with a Chevy LSD!....LOL!
He didnt say it was a 9 inch. Common 8.8 inch ratio and those are getting more common in street rods as they are stronger than the garden variety junkyard 9 inch like by a lot and theyre all over the place. 9 inch rears in junkyards have largely dried up anyway.Nice car, but "3.73 posi Ford rear axle"....THOSE ARE CHEVY GEARS!...with a Chevy LSD!....LOL!
), but the 3.73 ratio was sole property of Chevy for many years.
You obviously haven't kept up with newer Ford axles? The 8.8" Ford rear axle is Ford's version of the 12 bolt Chevy axle. They even use the same bearings and clutches! Both made in the same factories! So don't laugh too hard, or you might hurt yourself.Nice car, but "3.73 posi Ford rear axle"....THOSE ARE CHEVY GEARS!...with a Chevy LSD!....LOL!
Love Acuras, we have had 3 and I drive a 2007 TSX that I bought new. My wife's 2002 TL was the best car we ever owned. We sold it to a friend's son and he put a lot of work into it - even though it was in great shape it looked new when he got done. He loved the car. The first time he took it out after the work, someone t-boned him and totaled the car.
The J37 is random on oil consumption. Some have the issue some don't, resleeving seems to be the better solution than what Honda/Acura does.Love Acuras, we have had 3 and I drive a 2007 TSX that I bought new.

I haven't ever sleeved a motor, usually bore and install oversize pistons. Good luck.
Nice looking Acura TL. My wife's was the larger model before the change.
Every time I see TRD I think there should be a U in there someplace, like right behind the T. Nothing against the truck just the way my weird brain works.
VERY NICE job on the restores of those Beemers!
Thanks I appreciate it! Labors of love haha. Although I find myself spending more time on this forum lately than the BMW forum. Different hobbies fighting for my free time and cash
