Question What is the size of my rear end? 1978 Mustang II

The car is a 1978 Mustang Cobra II with a 2.3 and an Cruise-o-matic 3 speed (FMX) and i've seen the KC has the 8 inch rear end I was wonder what rear end my car has because I would like to swap out the gears and maybe add a LSD. Thanks.

He means that if the back of the diff casing is smooth like this http://www.britishv8.org/MG/DaleSpoo...lerearaxle.jpg
Its an 8 inch. If there are bolts holding it together from the rear then its the 6 3/4" rear.
