9 bolt vs 10 bolt
I have a 10 bolt cover rear axle with a 272(?) open rear with drum brakes. I would like to have a 3:42 posi with discs. After searching the forums, I haven't quite come up with the answers I need.
Is there a swap-in Pontiac rear end that could be bolted in place of mine?
Other than a proportioning valve, will the stock power brake booster handle the rear discs?
Are there any other issues that might come up?
Is the stock Pontiac rearend good enough or should I look for something aftermarket to handle about 350 rwhp?
If any one has experience in making this swap, I'd sure like to hear about it-I hate having to fix things more than once!
Thanks, this a really great website!!!
