Hi, i'm looking into switching my 8.25 to a 8.75 rear end. I have a lead on a complete a-body 8.75 without the 3rd member, i found another 489 3rd member that i could buy for cheap to rebuild. My question is, what can i re-use from the 8.25 rear?
I read in another forum (i think pettybludart commented) that the complete drumbrake setup can be used.
What about the axles? I currently have the large bolt pattern axles in the 8.25. I assume the 8.75 is small bolt pattern. Can the large boltpattern axles be used in the 8.75 or do i need to buy new ones?
Will any modifications need to be made to the axle shaft to fit large boltpattern axles? What about the driveshaft, will this need to be shortened?
So many questions ha ha?
