8" is too long IMO for these old bikes. 4-6 max.
ebay always has swingarms.
You want to play you got to pay.
Here is a chromoly box swing arm, only about 3-4 longer

Beside the cost of the swingarm you've got to buy a wide enough wheel, offset front sprocket, and I think to go that wide you would have to space the wheel to the right to get the chain to line up and clear the tire and frame, IF it clears the frame. It is cool to look at though as long as you don't get crazy and put a 240 on it.
Whats wrong with a 240? 6-8 over adjustable with a 240 and mono shocked.
