This dimension is the same on both my 8.8 rears but they are both Mustang rear ends. I am pretty sure that it will be the same on the Thunderbird rears but if you want to grab a measurement just to be sure that would be great.

Small update for those interested. GW is working on the spherical bearing for the rear end side of the UCA. I talked to Doug this morning and they are going to mock up a housing as they need the bearing to be a zero interference fit. Its not going as fast as I had hoped but I understand that they are working on the new cars and developing suspensions for them and their larger GM following. He did say they would get it done so I am going to hold out for this setup. I am not in a huge rush but it would be nice to get them in before the exhaust goes back in as battling those 3" tail pipes is not a lot of fun.

I have a few but they are all with it on the lift. No really good side shots except this one from the '99 WFC cruise from Ennis, TX to Bowling Green, KY (you will have to excuse my coupe in this shot, my PC crashed a few years ago and I lost a lot of pictures in cluding the one of the Bird):

My buddy and I were in my car and the other two friends were in the car next to us taking pics.

It is the factory color whatever that code is I don't know. I have always heard it called "deep canyon red".

Those are the old 16X7 and 16X8 Weld Drag Lites with Goodyear Eagle GSC's. They have been gone a while now. I bought 17X8 and 17X9 Bullitt replica wheels with Yokohama AVS 100's which they don't make anymore...bummer. I got the "SVO" center caps to put on them from Ebay of all places. They came with some fugly snake ones that had to go.

The tail pipes were painted with high heat pipe in that picture. The cat back is now HPC coated as will be the headers and X-pipe. I am waiting in line to have the headers built (1-7/8" primaries and 4" collectors) and then my buddy is going to knock out the 4" X-pipe. Drag all that up to OKC and have them coated.
