    If my 73 mav is an original 302 c4 car, does that mean it has the 8" rear in it ?
    It looks like an 8", it is a 5 lug rear, so before I climb in there and swap pumpkins i'd like to make sure that it is a 8". What's the 6 cylinder rear ? a 7.5 ?

    you are lucky.. you have 5 lugs.. i have the damned 4 lug axles in mine


    and there are no 14x7 or higher or 15x8 or higher rims with 4 lugs to be found anywhere..

    I have a pair of 4 lug slots that I will give to anyone that wants them. They are 14X6, and have no tires or lugs or centers. Email or pm me.
