Yes, consider buying a 8.8 or 9"

Even if you could, you'd still end up with the weaker center section. Plan on finding a complete 8 or 9" rear for your V-8 swap.

RE: 67 AXLE

they are right the 7.5 wont hold up under the power find a 8inch or use it as a reason to get a 9 inch. im not sure if the 8.8 will bolt in or not but i have seen a few older mustang with them
