Has anyone taken out 2.56 rear end and installed a 3.73 8.5” or 9” aftermarket complete rear? I want to “build” from the rear to the front. Overdrive transmission is in.

Welcome to the forum, that's a very clean and sharp looking Salon. I dig the black and I definitely need to grab a set of those SS II wheels- they go so well with RWL tires.

I haven't done the 8.5 swap yet myself but multiple members have, and I bet they'll chime in when they see your post. If you check the classifieds there's a member selling a bare Ford 9" housing set up for G Bodies, the 8.5 in the listing is spoken for by me.
