Yes, i'm running an EA Ford Falcon 8.8" rear end in mine right now, using the original Watts Linkage assembly. PM me if you need any help with it.

Question rearend
What is the length flange to flange on the stock rearend? Is the
Fox body Mustangs the only donor? What about a Ford Explorer?
Very interested in this conversion. Where can you buy the mounting
hardware?
