Im building a 65 Falcon that originally came with a 6 cyl, but Im putting in a 302 and was going to put an Explorer 8.8 in it, but after reading a lot of info about that swap in this forum, it looks like Im going to 86 that idea. Ive got a few questions on what to replace it with.
1. Does anyone have a chart with the overall axle widths and perch widths for various cars?
2. Roughly how much would it cost and what would it take to make the 8.8 useable?
3. Can the 8.8 discs be bolted onto the 9" housing? My guess is no F-in way. I have a 9" housing thats been laying around forever that needs to be narrowed, if i want to go the 9" route.
4. What about axle shaft lengths? If I use the bare 9" housing I have, I can easily get a centersection from a truck or something (my buddy owns a junkyard), but correct lenght axleshafts I would have to find on my own.
thanks a bunch in advance!
ps if anyone else likes the falcon/comets and knows of a useful forum, let me know, cuz I sure havent been able to find one yet!
