First off, I know these rears are weak, Just trying to get a posi cheap with with what i have.
I got my 79 Olds running, Fun to drive other than the 2.73:1 open 7.5" 10 bolt. I have a complete 7.62" 10 bolt posi 3.42:1 rear out of a 02 Trans Am, Question is will the carrier & gears fit my 7.5" 10 bolt?

Yes....I know how to install gears & have all the tools, Just dont want to waste time if they dont swap.

If they dont....What cars came with a 8.5" 10 bolt that will fit my G body? I know GN & turbo regals had them...But that stuff is hard to find.
