How hard or expensive would it be to correctly swap an explorer rear end into my 67?

this can be done on the cheap for around $300 or so but its is going to take some work what you are looking for a 95 - 2000 (disc brakes) Explorer rear end. The tag on the axle will tell you the ratio and if it has and "L" with the ratio number it's a "Limited Slip". 3.73L is not uncommon but they also used 3.55. I assume you are going to run some sort of OD. That will make the car very highway friendly.
here are the codes on the rear end tag:
43 Open 3200 3.08
41 Open 3200 3.27
42 Open 4.10
46 Open 3.73
45 Open 3200 3.55
D4 Limited Slip 3200 3.73
D2 Limited Slip 4.10
L73 Limited Slip 3.73
L - Limited Slip Differential

here is just one of many in the forums about it

check out this other thread on this forum: http://www.allfordmustangs.com/forums/classic-talk/320685-1966-rear-end-swap-explorer-8-8-a.html

Scroll down and there is a person who did that swap on their 67.

I think that doing the switch is not that difficult base on the instructions listed there.
