8 3/4 HOUSING WIDTH
« on: May 08, 2008, 08:49:04 AM »

what is the flange to flange measurement on an 8 3/4 "a" body rear housing, or is it that simple? magnum force, moser, etc could not tell me . i am trying to see if i can run a stock width or if i need to narrow it . thanks
my bad, i am putting this in my 66 cuda with spring relocation kit and mini tubs so i am only 38" out to out of frame rails and am thinking i need 50" f/f with 4.5 backspave and 1.5" tire clearance

Make sure you take whichever brake assembly you plan on using into the equation.

B/C/E brakes move the wheels out a smidge more than the A's
