I finally picked up a 8 3/4" 3.23 open rear to swap in place of my dead 7.25. This is the first I've done anything like this... what do I need to look out for doing this swap? I'm pretty sure the drums on the 8 3/4 are 10", rather than my stock 9" drums...will this be a fitment problem for my 14" wheels? How about the driveshaft? Does that use the existing u-joint, or is it a different size on the 8 3/4? I'm hoping to knock this out Tuesday evening (continuing into Thursday, if need be), so I want to be prepared getting into it. What about brake lines? The lines attached to the axle are intact and fine, can they attach to the soft line on the car, or does it mount differently?
TIA
