I realize that it's a step backwards, but I don't have much choice at this point. I keep the same axles that are in there, right? What kind of a yoke do I need? I'm guessing the one from the 741 carrier w/10 splines. What U-joint do I need (2-1/8" or 2-5/8")? Thank you, Robert -----Original Message----- From: Robert Gideon [mailto:rjgideon@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, December 07, 2004 9:07 PM To: 62-65 MOPARS Subject: Rear end swap 62-65 gurus, I'm considering purchasing a '65 Dart 270 that has been hot rodded. It has an LA 318, automatic w/ slap shifter, etc. The rear end is supposedly 3.88 gears. Obviously, this is too low for a daily driver, so I'd like to swap them out. The carrier is a 489. I'm wondering if I can just swap in my 8 3/4 from my '64 Newport. The Newport's carrier just has an X on it (I need to look harder, I know). I'm guessing that it's a 741, but I've read about a 657 carrier that's no good to swap with a 489. What gives?
