Anyone have the actual dimensions? I'm going to need a better rear end for my AMX when the new engine is installed.

Thanks,

Do you want to know the housing width for a 68-9 over the axle tube flanges?

edit- I have a bare 68 housing so tell me what you want to know if it's for a 68-9

Most every axle measurements are "axle face" or poorly worded - same thing "flange face". Don't believe I've seen "tube face" measurement as this would not be consistent for any kind of replacement or build plan.

American 56.5
Gremlin/Hornet V8 58.5

Don't know about an early Rebel but I believe the 71 and up large cars were also 60" to 61".
Jeep had narrower and may have been 54"?

Hope this helps.



Are you measuring width between the tube flanges or axle flanges? That seems a bit wide for the '68-'69 AMX & Javelin.

My rebels original rear measured 61.25. Its a 69 model. But it's a control arm/coil sprung rear.
