Default Rear End Question

Hello All,
I'm new here, but can someone tell me what all Fords came with a 3-27 rear end? This ia a small Mustang, 4 bolt axels. When I learn how, I'll post the race car. A winning 2.3, 14 year old grandson. Runs mostly in Hohenwald, Tennessee.

As near as I can tell by my research, the Mustang II didn't have the 3.27:1 gear ratio available from the factory.

The only ones I can find are:

2.79:1
3.00:1
3.18:1
3.40:1
3.55:1

All ratios were available with or without limited slip, depending on year, and those were all for the Ford 8" rear end.

Of course, knowing which rear end housing you're using might help. 4-lug axles were used on six-cylinder cars from 1964-1969, and on all Mustangs (excluding the 1984-1986 Mustang SVO and 1993 Mustang Cobra) from 1974-1993.

Between those cars, there were also the 6.25" rear ends, the 7.5" rear ends, the early 8" rear ends, and the 8.8" rear ends, all available in 4-lug.

You could get certain 1979-1993 Mustangs with an available 3.27:1 gear ratio I believe, but I couldn't tell you for sure which years or which rear end housing (they used the 7.5 and 8.8 both through those years) they came in.
