Shorter housing or wider?

8.25" @ the 12 o'clock position indicates .750" shorter than my dimension which would mean the housing is 1.50" shorter overall = 65-69/early 70 30 spline 12-bolt axles.
I took the measurements off of a 71-72 12-bolt, longer 5-lug housing.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
