The Summit part# is STR - U1630 it is a 1350 Pinion Yoke Ford 8.8. Copy and paste in the search box @ summitracing.com and it will bring up the part. Will take a few more pictures when I get time.

just curious what are you running for a tire and wheel combo,i'm in the process of doing this same swap on a 81 elky,along with a mini tub,i'm thinking of a 15x10 wheel but have no idea about the backspace since the fox rear is narrower

275/60/15 on a 8" wheel with 4.5" b.s. Cut the lip off the finder well. I have about 3/4 on outside and 1" on inside. I do have 68 chevelle springs to lower the rear. I think the overall length is longer on the 8.8.
