There are many posts along this topic, you should do some searching. It's complicated, but you *can* put most anything up under there you want. It's just a matter of what you're going to use it for, and how much time and money do you want to spend. Not much is just going to bolt right up, the older A bodies are more narrow than later years. Why don't you like the original gear ratio? |

An 8 3/4 out of another A Body will bolt right in. It will have the smal bolt pattern axles and you will have to shorten you driveline. |
