Re: 95' caprice

Will The 7.5 brakes work on that 8.5. If I got the housing/axle combo for 500, I would need a posi/spool and gears and it would be ready to bolt in?

Would be nice if the brakes would swap over cuz I have brand new everything on my 7.5 now

95' caprice

Will a 95' Caprice 8.5 fit into a 79' malibu. I found one with disk brakes and was wondering if it could be swapped? I don't know the gears or if posi. I figured that I would need new uppers/different back spacing for my rims/1" shorter driveshaft. The normal stuff to switch over to a 8.5.
