View Full Version : 8.2 to 8.5 Rearend Swap cwb90 Jul 4th, 09, 08:29 PM I'm swapping my 8.2 for a 8.5 rearend out of a 74 Nova and wondered if all the brake shoes cylinders , etc are interchangeble. I have all new drum brake parts on my 8.2 and would like to put it on the 8.5 I just bought. Please let me know if there is there anything else that would helpful to know in the swap. Thanks. Clint AlexFolino Jul 4th, 09, 08:47 PM Havent done one in a while but i want to say that everything for the most part is interchangeable but i have known to be wrong. 67 Plum Jul 4th, 09, 08:49 PM Everything is the same. Camaros-n-Chevelles Jul 4th, 09, 09:25 PM Everything is the same. x2 Even if you went to a 12 Bolt, Backing Plates, Drums, Wheel Cylinders, etc. are interchangeable. wagonman Jul 5th, 09, 12:38 AM yup! DOUG G Jul 5th, 09, 05:38 AM Yes... got to love interchangeability :yes: Z06vette Jul 5th, 09, 06:26 AM Is the U-joint & driveshaft length the same as well?
