i have an 81 camaro and am going to get a big block eventually and would liek to get a ford 9 inch. i found one that is from the 70s and is 57 inches wide. i talked to someone about a 9inch and they said certain years would bolt right in with minor modifications. so i was wondering if this would be one of those

The proper way to measure a rear end is this way ...



Because the difference in brake drum widths and axle offsets. There are a few Fords in that 61 to 63 inch range.
