Planning to do the Ford 8" rear swap in my '73 Dart 4 door, but don't know what donor car to search for. Want the rear to be as close a fit to my original 7-1/4" as possible. 60's Mustangs? Early 70's Fords? Anyone know?
Thanks!

65-66 Mustang or 71-77 Maverick are very close to stock 7.25" Mopar width, Maverick is closest and Mustang is slightly wider (0.3" or so each side). Make sure you get a 5 lug model as many were 4 lug.
