Anyone on here know of anyone else who sells the upper control arms for the g to a-body swap,i just scored a 1971 corp.8.5 from a cutlass s for 125 bucks free moving and brakes still work. Not sure of the gearing but hopjng for the best cant be worse than my 229 i have now ,anything i need to know about the older 8.5 and can anyone tell me if any 8.5 gears will work in it or are they different than the 8.5 gears the national and 442 use.
 
Most of the suspension part companies make the conversion uppers for this swap. I know UMI and BMR make them maybe other companies as well.
