    Posi has just become a generic term for all locking/limited slip differentials. Seems to be an irreversible trend at this point.

    My own N Case center section came out of my 72 Gran Torino Sport - 351C Q Code - 4 speed

    I junked the car and kept the drivetrain and the hood

    The drivetrain lives again in the Maverick

    Nice! I liked the Torino Sport. My dad had one but my uncle wrapped it around a tree.

    No...not really. Call it what you want to. While we're at it...might as well call all GM 4-speed transmissions Top Loaders and all headers no matter what name brand will be called Hooker. After all Positraction is only a word and Trick Flow is just another word for after market heads. :Handshake
