8.25 interchange possibilities?

[halfafish]

I have an A-body 8.25 with housing, axles, and cover. I have a line on another 8.25 that is affordable but for a B-body. Can I use the B-body innards (ring, pinion, yoke, and carrier) to make a complete A-body unit?

Here you go, buddy. There are lots of FACTS presented in this thread, but some members continue to argue about them. Hopefully it will answer some of your questions.
