    rear end dimensions '74?
    « on: May 12, 2011 - 04:37:57 AM »
    Hello all.  Was wondering if someone could tell me what the dimensions are for a '74 barracuda rear axle?  I mean the length from perch to perch and from hub to hub.  Does anyone know if you can make a rear axle from a '70s charger to a '74 barracuda ?

    You can put the Charger rear end in your Cuda, but you'll need to get the Mopar Performance Offset spring hangers.

    As Katfish alluded to, You can make it work, but it is not the same - dimensionally.
