1. Stock Tiger rear ends were Salisbury, with Dana 44 center sections.
2. The 8" Ford rear end was available in Falcons (Comets) in the '60s and, I
think, Mavericks and Comets in the '70s. I'm not sure about later
availablility.
3. I would check with the Falcon Club of America as a starting place.
4. Yes, steep gears are available.
You also might check out the Fordnatics mail list. Those guys know everything
about things Blue Oval.
You also might consider a 8.8" rear out of a late model Mustang.
Dimensionally they are very similar, including weight, but they are a heck of
a lot stronger and can be built, cheaply, to be bulletproof.
Good luck,
Mike
