Complete rear end housing - drum to drum, with axles, and with pumpkin. For all 1967-1968 Cougars with original 289 or 302 equipped engines. As removed from West Coast Cougar organ donor car. We recommend a bearing and seal inspection prior to use. For safety sake, some brake components should never be reused.
