Look what happened! Need some opinions!

Look for a 8 3/4 out of a B body dodge or plymouth the housing is 52 inches from plate 2 plate. Set the rear houseing up in a jig take some measurements and weld in all the brackets. Set of 391's and a sure grip and u'll never break that one.

Have you done this swap? That's the rear I contemplated before I found my 8.5 (good price). It seemed like a good low buck option, minus the 5 x 4.5 bolt pattern.

Try and grab a 8.5 rear or maybe even a 12 bolt for your Regal........That is a sweet looking ride, glad you didn't do more damage.........I like that hood as well....2" Steel??

Thanks! 2" fiberglass. I love your monte! Yours is the reason i had such a hard time deciding if I should put an ss nose on mine, but i ended up finding an ss front clip close and a very good price, i bought mine with front end bamage

I vote on you getting a 8.5. It does not need to be a posi now. A non posi can also work out for you as you can install a tru-Trac later when the money is avaliable. A non posi from a GN is about $500 bucks plus you get higher gear (3.42) for highway use.

Good Luck

Jesus, you are so lucky that tire didn't mess up your quarter panel! :shock:

7.5 keeping down the cost , 8.5 for ease of install or 9 inch for the strength

Man that sucks... but coulda been worse, like Blake442 said... anyways, here... lemme fix that for ya (hope you don't mind)... there we go...

yea that will do it dude!!!

i opted for a A-body rear (had one laying around) it fits nice and i already put a auburn carrier and a richmond 3.55 from when it was in my 70 monte
