    What disc swap did you do and what rear ends were in the cars? I've got a 9" which I think has big bearing ends. I'm not sure an explorer swap will work. I may have to do a grand marquis/crown vic swap.

    Ok, I did have it backwards then. Do you know what the measurements are between the bolt holes on a big vs. small bearing end?
