8.5 to 7.5 swap? This may be a stupid question but will the stock 3-series out of a 2000 camaro with 3.42 ring and pinion fit into an older 8.5" 10-bolt?
The reason im asking is i have an early 80's chevy truck with the 8.5 10-bolt that needs gears and a posi. I also have the the carrier, ring and pinion from my 2000 camaro sitting on my shop floor and was wondering if that could be swapped over to the 8.5 housing in my truck.
