Default 71 Olds Cutlass Rear end in 72 LeMans
Broke my P 8.2 and got a Cutlass 8.5 10 bold from the local Classic Car parts yard. The guy said it would bold right in. It did, the drive shaft didn't !
I'm having it shortened 1-1/2 " and ahving new U-joints installed.
In preparing the rear-end for insertion I drained and the gear lube and relaced the gasket and cover with a Summit Chrome cover and POR-15 the rear drum to drum.
41/16 = 2.56
Anyone know what other gears will fit this carrier ?
Thanks in advance !
Andy
