8.8 in a 7.8 case??

[87dytnajeff]

Does anyone know if it is possible to take the innards from an 8.8 axle and put them in a 7.8 housing??

i know i'd have to change the diff cover, is there anything else i need to do IF this is possible??

You just have to grind the inside of the housing so the ring gear will fit.

A 7.8" housing? Are you talking about a 7.5, or are you using some screwy GM axle?

Either way, I wouldn't try it.
