What year car or truck do I look for to find a 700R4 with the correct bolt pattern for a 428 Pontiac engine. I am still thinking about doing this conversion for my 55 stationwagon and using an overdrive transmission to try and get some decent fuel mileage. I remember reading somewhere that some 700R4 hav...

My 1981 Parisienne has a 7.5 rear diff. with 2.41 axle ratio and I'm thinking I would like to find an 8.5 rear diff that would be a bolt in. Somewhere I read that 1973-1977 Chevelle-Monte Carlo etc. rear diff. is a bolt in and I think they were all 8.5 in that era. Anyone know if this is true or is in something I...

This has me stumped. The rear cover is a 10 bolt BOP style but larger than the 8.2 10 bolt cover. The ring gear is a 12 bolt and the axles are retained with C-clips. The axles are the full size car 5x5 with 1/2" studs. See pics, sorry the close up wouldn't focus on the c-clip retainer. I guess I would li...
