baron_ Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 I want to replace the 8.2 in my '66 GTO before i blow the sucker up Prefer a 66/67 12 bolt, but 68-72 will work 66/67 12 bolt i'd consider an open rear and completely rebuild it but would want a 68-72 to already have a posi Lots of conversions out there where people have welded the perches onto 9"ers to make them work - that would be fine as well I suppose I'd consider an 8.5 as well not looking for it to be free...i know what they run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
