B-Body 8.5" in F-body?

The 8.5" got a strenght boost in '89 the pinion is the same diameter as a 12-bolt and it went 30 spline. So it is stronger than the older 8.5" stuff. Strong enough for delaiable 10s in a b-body and with a little extra effort reliable 9s in a b-body.

NO this is not a fail thread you can use that rear end or any other rear that is stronger than the current factory installed crap!

Yeah the spelling is horrible.
Anyone have pics of the G Force kit installed? I'm kinda interested, but not too sure about it. I'd really like to do the G force kit for added room for exhaust and easier to swap rear ends, but on the other hand the TA setup works pretty good and I already have all UMI rear suspension. But then with the G Force kit it takes the load off the rear axle housing so 6 speed guys could use a 12 bolt and have it hold up
Hmmmm now I'm thinking LOL

I'll check the link, but I honestly may have some suspension for sale here in a little while
