I'm still investigating the rear end swap. I can find a 3.08 in the same size rear end (7.5" open) so it would be a direct swap. I can only find the 3.27 in an 8.8" from a Ranger with a 3.0L in it. It would still be a pretty direct swap and the shock mounts and spring perches are the same but it has to heavier. How much I'm not sure. I thought I had read that the Aerostar was offered with a 3.27 in a 7.5" rear end so I am thinking that the gear set might be available. Just more hassle and $$$ to do it that way.
