To clarify my original question:  Let's assume I put the Newport's carrier
on the Dart (a "...657" carrier which is the precursor to the 741 from what
I understand).  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

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?

Thank you,
Robert Gideon
