Hello everyone,
I have an 89LE 318 / 500A I'm looking to eventually swap a 440 into. Been offered a Dana 70 rear and am not sure if it would be overkill for me or what else I would need to swap for it to work? I don't mind keeping 5 lugs up front and having the 8 in rear. Just want everything to work together. Will the Dana 70 bolt up to my long box 89? Truck currently is still all original but will be swapping with the kit from bouchillion (spelling).
Is the Dana 70 a good idea or is the existing open 9 1/4 good enough? Sorry if this has been done I didn't find anything specific enough to my scenario.
Edit: I have the matching heavy duty 727 for my 440 from a 78 pacearrow motorhime i am not trying to use the 500a with my 440.
