Im just curious if the width between LCA locations is the same, but since the rears are about 7" different in overall width, i highly doubt they would line up to each other. Moving an LCA bracket on a rear axle isn't a difficult task so its not a big deal, and i dont want anyone to go out of their way to get me measurements. I figured if someone had a rear housing laying around out of a car or something like that. As of right now. im looking more into the 8.8 mustang housing. They are said to be able to handle a lot of power, and parts are more available/cheaper than an 8.5 10 bolt.

this is just one of my many ideas that goes through my head in the course of a month, but i figure since i do have 2 late 90s 8.8 rears in my backyard... why not. Its something different(main thing i like) and much cheaper than a 12 bolt or 9". Welding a few tabs, shock mount and a cross member into the car for the upper links isnt a big task on a track only car.

plus, i will be buying drag wheels specifically for the car as well in the future so i can work around with bolt pattern and backspacing to make it fit my needs.
