I take it the 9" fell through? If you were going to go to the
trouble to swap in a 9.25", I think you would probably be better
served by going with an 8.75" instead. There are certain musclecar
era applications which are a perfect size for the GenII Dak, as is. My
understanding is that its about as bolt-in as you can get with a rearend
swap. I don't recall all the details, but Ray Block and Mark Kuzia are
two of the DMLers who have done them, the details of which are no doubt
buried in the archives somewhere. I'm not sure if Mark is still on the
list, but Ray is an active poster.
