Well now this just totally bites. Sadly it doesn't seem like I'll be able to afford the swap after all. I'll put up a want ad for a 7 1/4 center section just to try and get the car back up and running otherwise it will have to sit until at least next year.

So since the rear end went on my Dart I decided I might as well spend the money into the 8 3/4 I've got. I know that I will need to find shock plates and U-bolts but I was also told that I'd need to switch from the 9" drums I have now, to I believe the large 10" drums? Simply put this is...
