Hi,
I am replacing my 6cyl suspension with a v8 suspension in my 1966 project. I am getting a new rear end but I wanted to make sure I was getting the right measurements. I am looking at a 8" rear out of a granada with a 3.0 ratio. Do I need 54" or 52" at the tube flange? Are the perch springs 43" center to center? Is there anything else I should be aware of? I searched previous threads and found some info but the links suggested to find info were no longer available. Thanks for any help.

The '66' rear should be 52 1/4" end of tube, side to side. Spring perches were 43" up thru '78'

Think some good reading here also.

Ideal is 52 1/4 however an 1/8 inch narrower is no problem. The rear should fit. Oddly the Granada rear fits early Falcons too.:bigthumbsup

Thanks for the info and link! Now hopefully I will get the price I want.
