    Any of you know if the site has a table similar to the attached for ranchero applications? Do Rancheros (70/71 in particular) share same driveline as Torinos?

    If there is a difference, it'll be between sedans/coupes and wagons. But, I think it's based on the full drivetrain, engine, trans and diff. When I put the 351W and C4 in Babe, I pulled a drive line from a '78 LTD II wagon with a 351W, C4 and 9".

    So, for '70-'71, it would depend on the wheelbase. The Ranchero is a Torino-based rig, so I'd look at the wagon and 4-door sedan, not coupe.

    Yep, same chassis as the wagons. Interesting is that the Torino's wheelbase is 117" vs 114 for the Ranchero and wagon.
