What about a 9.3" Pontiac/Oldsmobile rear end?  It's featured in the current issue of Street Rodder.

A reasonably prepared 8" axle is overkill for any car that ever wore an MG badge.

Since you guys are talking about axles for truck projects, I think this thread belongs better in the Drivetrain section...
1971 MGB GT V8
Buick 215 w/ Rover heads, custom EFI & crank-fired ignition.
Custom front and rear coilover suspensions.

I picked up a Dana 44 axle yesterday.  I'm going with Bill G.'s 4-link kit.  Seems to be the most rear end and suspension one can get for a reasonable price.

Going with T-Bird IRS on the Super Tigers  Keeping an all Ford Theme

FYI have two frames for my 57 Safari one original with 9.3 Pontiac and a second frame with a Jag irs and Mustang front susension

Lots of good info Jim  - Makes this a good forum

I'll start a build thread on the Tigers when the Frames are done
