Chevy 8.2 10 bol has a 25 spline pinion & pinion flange
Buick & Pontiac 8.2 10 bolts will have 27 spline pinion flange
There have been those that adapted 8.2 Chevy gearsets into Pontiac 8.2 10 bolt housings by machining a bushing that was then driven into the pinion seal bore. Then the chevy pinion seal could be used. Not something I've messed with, & am no longer assembling early gray iron 8.2's of either style.
Bearings & races are globaly sourced. Federal Mogul began sourcing the production of its bearings & races from all over the world near 30 years ago. For example there was tons of small bearing production utilizing very high quality steel out of the eastern block after the Soviet Union fell. For r/e bearings, races, & seals I typically buy locally, then examine, & if needed try another source.
