Then you would need to change the rear end. You would need to fabricate sold mount spring pads for the rear end. If your trying to get a different gear ratio find a Powerglide rear end.

I would also like to change out the rear end with something narrower. I have a car lift , plasma cutter and a 251 mig ,etc. so that kinda fabing isn't any problem. Just looking at another option other than just swapping out the drive train.
