8.8 swap

The stock 66-72 A-body stock rear is 57 1/8" wide. Plus, with the 8.8 you wind up with 56 1/2" from WMS to WMS when you cut down a Ford Explorer disc brake rear.

I think this is what your looking for. Basically the 8.8 disc brake rear when narrowed is about 3/4" narrower per side than the mopar A body 8.75" axle. The drawing is based on drum or disk to rim mating surface dimensions, and not bearing flange dimensions.
