As far as I know, the only difference in an open carrier and an LSD is the guts in the carrier. The part where the ring gear bolts to should be the same. At least it was on my '98 with the 7.5. Since you already have the carrier, clearance for the tone ring (if you have one) will be a nonissue since the carrier will already have the relief for it.Doing a bit of reading today, I've struggled to find the 3.08 gear set being used with an LSD carrier in the 7.5. Short of having all the parts in my hand to compare, does anyone know if the LSD carrier will even work a 3.08 gear set?
I seem to remember SN95 mustangs having LSDs and 3.08 gear sets, but I'm having trouble confirming.
