8.8" in a 65 Stang

[My65Stang]

Thanks for the info. I did think of keeping the 8" and rebuilding it. I thought it might cost more than just replacing it with a "newer" rear.

I currently have a stock 289 and no real plan to replace it, so a 9" might be overkill (save those for the big horsepower toys)

I guess I was wondering if a Ranger 8.8 has the same type housing as, say a Mustang or T-Bird. Is the driveshaft centered? I read that the Ranger axles are 3" different right to left.
