The 7.625" spider gears are bigger than 7.5" that came factory. I blew up my spider gears in my 7.5". I am going with Moser 28 spline axles and the Torsen posi. A girdle cover won't hurt either.

If your a good welder, very possible. You fabricate nearly any rear to work. My welding sucks. A 68-72 A body and later Mustang can work with conversion control arms.

The problem with shortening axle tubes on GM cars is the axle spline is cold rolled so you can't cut and re spline the axle to get the correct length like you can with a machined ford axle. Also the tubes on a 7.5 is a smaller diameter than the tubes on an 8.5
Was online looking and came across this. Hope this helps.
