explorer 8.8 in an a-body: experience needed

mine ended up being a little narrower than a 8.25


Yeah, but I don't think he plans to narrow his. I can't recall how much difference there was. I think it was like 1.875 inches?? So you might rub a little..

Obviously, I don't know your exhaust layout.. but I would be surprised if you have a clearance issue with the flange. Its probably only an 1" -1 1/2" all around larger than the standard yoke.
