Need Advice, Swapping out rear axle from disc to disc.
Hello everyone, i could really use some help here.
I have a 72 cutlass "s" w/ 350 rocket. it has a 2.73 open 10bolt 8.5" w/ drums. I was given a rear end taken from a 91 camaro z28 10 bolt. the cutty is 8.5 not sure of z28. It has 3.23 posi factory rear. The rear setup is w/ coil springs.
What do you think of the odd that i can do this, if it is possilbe how much work $$$ should i be expecting? I will be running disc conv for front so it will have 4 wheel disc brakes.

You can't do anything with it. Sell it. The rear suspension on the Camaro is different. it doesn't have upper arms like your car does. The Camaro used a long bar that runs from the rear end to the side of the transmission instead. I'm thinking the Camaro has 7.5 ring gear.
