Okay I am working on my 78 malibu which is a 454, 4 spd car. The pinion bearing is bad on the 7.5 and I am switching over the the 9inch.
I bought a 83 grand prix a few years back that a guy used to drag race with here and there nothing serious. I went over the rearend and it appears that they did a very good job on shortening it. It does have 28 spline axles and it looks as if they had the oem ones cut and resplined. I seem to have miss placed the u bolts that hold the drive shaft to the yoke. Where can I get them?
Also I have no idea what this rear was originally from. Any one know how to tell?
I just know its got 4 1/2 inch bolt pattern and 28 spline axles also 355 gears
Also am I doing to need a special U joint to go from GM to the Ford rear?
Will I need to shorten my drive shaft?
Any help would be great!
p.s. This is not a drag car or anything real serious. This car will only be driven on the street.
