Measure the diameter of the tubes to see if they are the THICK ones or not... I put a 9" in my Rampage not to long ago... it was the larger diameter but its what I had EDIT Either way a full housing with a possi is worth a $100

I will ask why do this? First a dana is more appropriate, stronger, less costly. Sell the 9" to someone who doesn't know better then put the money into a Dana. Stock 9" is no stronger than a 8 3/4 or 9 1/4 that dodge uses. It can be made quite strong with all aftermarket parts but most everyone I know who change to it from a 8 3/4 or even the bow tie guys from thier 12 bolts find now they have to spend money making it as strong as what they had.
O boy here we go Not EVERY application requires a dana

Just a FYI for you.. You can get an 8.8 from a pull a part for 150.. The one to get comes in a ford explorer 95 up body style. Disk brakes, posi, 3:73 gears or 4.10 and 31 spline axles and they are almost the same width as your b body rear end.. maybe 1" shorter depending on the year.
59 1/2" wide on the ford explorer axle And that is rotor to rotor..

I am building a twin turbo sb 69 dart and it will have the 8.8 in it... I have put allot of spray through the old Mustang i use to have and that 8.8 held up perfectly..
