Rear Axle Housing Dimensions

Can anyone tell me the flange to flange and spring pad to spring pad measurements for a 72 Maverick? I pick up my Maverick next month and have an opportunity to get an 8" rear end, but would ideally like to get something that will fit right in.

 

it should have a 8" in it already.

 

The car is a 72 6 cyl car with a 4 lug rear end. Since I'm going with a 302 and using Granada spindles I want a 5 lug rear end.

 

those numbers you want are on this board somewhere....but the search is working for me.

 

Thanks. I tried the search, but received an error message. I will try to get the measurements while in California this weekend.

 

I wish I could help, but I got a 9 inch and don't think that would help.
I would gladly measure it for you.
