I have recently acquired an 8.25 rear end from a 1974 Swinger that I am planning on putting in my 1974 Dart Sport. My car is currently a three on tree A250 (I think) and a 7.25 rear end. My questions: do I need to change the driveshaft? Is the u-joint larger? If it's just a u-joint difference, is there a conversion joint to use my original driveshaft with the 8.25 yoke? I'm in no rush to do the swap because the car does still drive and is driven daily, and I also have to (want to) rebuild the 8.25 because it's a 2.45 gear. Any and all help/information is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
