8.5 swap


Hi guys.

I found a rear end housing out of a 76 camero. 

It's a posi with 3.08s in it and it's a 10 bolt 8.5 diff.

 

I have a 8.2 posi in it..but I wanted to put

 

The 8.5 in..since it's set up for leaf Springs..

 

Do any of you know where I can get link brackets for it.

I don't want to hack up the original one.

 

Plus it's going to be 1 in narrower on both sides and a set of 8 inch wide rallies will fit nice with the sevens on the front. 

 

Thanks...as I have found nothing but low rider brackets. 

 

I

Ok let's see if I got this. You want to put the 8.5 10bolt into your Impala? The kicker is that the B body upper arms are on the centre section and with the 8.5 you would need to add fabricated mounts that are lower and further apart than on the stock diff.

You'll have to look but there should be some after market 4-link kits that may you may be able to adapt to your application.
