I have an 8 3/4 axle housing available to me from an e body cuda. I've read the article that Gunpilot did on his Duster, but I was curious if there may be any additional things for me to consider on an early A-body that anyone can think of. |

An E-body axle will not fit under an A-body. Expecially a '66 cuda which doesn't have large wheel openings. |

So even flaring out the fender and using backspaced tires wouldn't do it for me? |

Well, if you want to butcher the car, then sure it will work. But I would move the springs into the frame rails and then take the axle down to a machine shop and have them narrow it up so you can have the tires inside the fenderwells. But that is just my opinion. |

E-body is waaaaayyyyyyyy too wide. Those are even wider than a C-body I believe. For the money it will cost for bodywork and offset wheels you can have a place like Moser cut the housing and cut and respline the axles so it will fit an A-body. I know Moser cut and splined my axles for about $90 and they charge the same for narrowing a housing. |
