I'm doing an I6 to V8 conversion on my 65 Fastback. I've found a 1972, 5 lug rear axle (8") from a Maverick. Apparently these work quite well as a direct bolt in. I'd like to get some feedback from all you experts before I proceed.
When finished the car will be pushing 325HP from a 67 289. The 8" rear will be rebuilt with 3.55 Posi. So should be fine to handle the HP.
Is the Maverick rear end a good choice?
