Should I build an 8" rear end

[Anonymous]

When I told him I was looking for some Granada discs he suggested these Versailles, so we'll see I guess.

If you're talking about the front spindles (brakes), the Versailles uses a larger ball joint (than the Granada/Monarch, dunno why) so it won't bolt onto a Mustang/Falcon/etc.

I think MustangSteve makes sleeves to solve this problem

But that would be an added expensive, you're probably better off if you can get Granada/Monarch spindles...

I was looking around some sites and found that the Versailles and the G/M rear end is 52 1/4" flange to flange, which is the same as a 65-66 Mustang (and should be the same as earlier Falcon/Comets as well).

Mustang196t8,
Thanks for the information.
I'm going to the 'parts yard' this weekend to retrieve some other vehicles I bought from him.

dwood said the same thing about the front end.

I'll take a tape measure with me and get some information this weekend.
Supposed to be really nasty here all weekend. Yea right, mid to high 70's and sunny.
Love the fall in Kentucky!
Thanks again
