I think that a-body axles are significantly narrower, but if you're planning to go with wide tires that could work in your favor.

 Duh ..... missed the second part of the question , the only body it will work for is the A body , , a mid 60 B body is a better fit for a narrow diff in an E body

Just for my edification, Neil, a-body axles cannot be made to work, period?

the a body was the narrowest diff , the E body is almost the widest , only the stn wagon & 71 Charger were wider , if you moved the springs in & moved the perches it might work with a highly offset wheel to the outside / deep dish wheel
