I've done the swap on my GN. Only I used the 8.5 10 bolt from a 72 Skylark. It uses the B-O style that has pressed on bearings like a Ford/Mopar instead of C-clips. It is longer than the stocker so you will need new wheels. I run 8 inch wide DragStars on the strip with a 5" BS with a 10" slick with no rubbing. On the street I run widened stock steels that are 10" wide with a 6 1/8" BS. What I like about this axle is that with the extra length I've also widened the rear track at the same time. Much like what GM did with the 4th gen F-body. It goes around corners like a slot car is about how I would describe the difference. Here is a pic of it with the 10" stockers.
Please identify the vendor who sells the control arms that allow the transplant of the A-Body rear in a G-Body. Thanks.
