I would make really sure the support is there. Maybe 8.2 Chevy rear, not so sure on a few year only rear.
Mark, My thoughts exactly. I remember him saying he was using the 8.2 rear in his GP. I believe he said it came out of an A-body.. We could use the late great pontiacgp right now. He had that rear in his '85 GP.
I think UMI made him something custom.I remember Steve saying he got some replacement upper A-arms that corrected the geometry. But I think the maker went out of business.
He did mention that the rear was wider, but he compensated by using rims with a wider backspace...besides using the aftermarket upper control arms.Also all of the A-body rear ends are 2-4" wider depending on the year than a Gbody rear end which will require different rear rims to fit correctly.
Spring perches should be moved to the top of the axle also
