I remember a few years ago someone on the AMX Files useing a 9" Ford rear ot of a lincoln Versailes (Ford Granada, Mercury Monarch) in a Hornet. He said it was a bolt in and it has disc brakes too. He said the hardest part of the installation was bending the arms for the hand brake and hooking them up to the stock Hornet hand brake cables. I have heard that the 8 3/4" Mopar fits too but I don't remember from what model cars. I'd go for the 9" myself just for the pure strength and gear ratio availability.
