The wrecker is dreaming. I sold my last diff centre for $50 and that was a 3.54. The 3.77s are the most common, so I'd give you $100 tops for it. You might get more for it on ebay, as there are a lot of "green" Escort owners on there. Most Escort stalwarts are looking to convert their diffs to stronger units like Hilux or Courier diffs. The 4.1s are still popular with the racing boys and fetch good money but most of them are long gone.

The 4.11s are from Anglias and very, very early Mk 1 Escorts (GTs and some vans). Like I say, most were pillaged years ago by the rally/race boys. I've yet to find one in its original car.....And I've had 9 vans, 2 Mk 1 2drs and countless Mk2 Escorts. |
