I got this 9" Ford set-up last week-end. It's 36" flange-to-flange & 18.5" Outside-to-outside on the ladder-bar mounts. Is it to narrow to use in a 71 B-body? Ladder-bar spacing to close together?

Measure the insides of your rear sub frames and find out the worst thing that can happen is you need to order another front ladder bar mounting kit and have it welded in

Are the ladder bar mounts to narrow for a big car? Would it be more stable with the ladder bar & shock mounts further apart?

It would be more stable with a wishbone over the diagonal. If you make a lot of power, you might bend or break the diagonal, seen it happen before.
