Lincoln Versailles rear end will fit and they are a 9" with disc brakes on it too. They are hard to find.

Any Mustang up to 71 or so. 69 and up rear ends are a couple inches longer which is not a big deal because you can adjust the difference with different backspace wheels.

Thanks for the response, I recently found a 1975 Maverick That has the 9 inch rear end, and from the measurements it will fit in perfectly. My next question for anyone out there is gear ratios. I am putting in a 302 engine with a 4-Speed Manual ( T170F Code: RUG), and the rear axle has a 3.00:1 ratio. However, I cannot find the ratios for the trans and am afraid that I might have a granny 3rd gear.
