Re: A-Body Axle Choice?




Correct, you will need new u-bolts and u joint keeper. Hopefully the keepers should come with the new rearend.

IMHO 8 3/4" is the way to go. Lighter than the Dana, but able to take as
much punishment as you will likely ever throw at it with a small block. But
beware, it is not QUITE the "bolt in" many claim it to be. You have to shorten
your drive shaft, and the shock, and none of the axle mounting  hardware
(U-bolts, etc. interchange) Since you have the old ball and trunion trans, you will
likely want to upgrade that too, the results being a drive shaft  that is
almost completely fabricated, so choose your drive shaft shop  well.
