Guys.........

I'd like to find an 8-3/4 rear that will fit my 67 Cuda without a bunch of cuttin' and weldin'........Right now it's a 904 / 7-1/4........I don't mind the tranny, but the rear could use some help.

It would be nice to find one that will bolt right up.........

Are there any out there, in any other cars, that would fit the bill? If I have to relocate the spring perches or something minor I don't mind........It would just be great to find something that would slip right in there in place of the little 7-1/4...............

Am I all wet, or is there something out there I can look for? I figure there almost has to be something possible, but don't know from what car(s) or compatible years.......
 
Any A Body 8 & 3/4 from late 65 up through 72 will bolt right in (yes late 65s with 273 4 speeds could have had the 8 & 3/4 - parted one out with a build date of 7/23/65). Also any A Body 8 & 1/4 will be a bolt in. With both the driveshaft will need to be shortened.
