Chrysler 8.75 for Aspen/Volare
Need some advice for installing an 8.75 in a 79 Aspen. Would a B body rear end be the closest fit for width? Currently has an 8.25. Thanks, Craig.

Re: Chrysler 8.75 for Aspen/Volare
What kind of power and which class are you setting up for? Early B Body is close but you still have to offset springs and/or move the pads. If you’re going with a lot of power and/or trans brake go directly to a Dana.

68 to 70 B body is the one you need.

I put an 8 3/4 from a 71 Charger in a 76 Volare, the locating pins were less than an inch off, I elongated the shock plates with my die grinder, it was almost a bolt in.

Find a 66-67 rear, shorter that the 68-70. Doesn't it have to be the same back plate to back plate measurement as the 8-1/4 or whatever was in it?Gotta put axles-spool in anyway, cut it to the right length.
