Some mid 60's Ford passenger cars had 9 inch fords of withs about 61.5 and centerd pinion gears. I would do that... infinite choices for gears. Also, on my 59, I used a posi disc break rear from a cop car caprice. it had 3.23 gears in it. After a few hours with the plasma cuter and grinder, I was ready to weld on my new purches.
P.S. It was 61.5 inches wide mounting surface to mounting surface. The pinion was not centered. It was off by a tiny amount, but not enough to cause an issue.
