I wanted to upgrade to a 9-inch while changing to discs. The "hassle" of making things work is half the fun. You're right, its not the only way, just how I did it. It was cheaper than an aftermarket braking system, plus I got a posi rearend for cheap (8" units are more expensive). -CP
: Second; why buy a Versailles Rearend and go thru all the hassle of changing everything when you can get a good disc brake system from another source. And keep your factory rearend. They are out there you just have to know where to look.
: Everyone thinks they have to change to a Versailles rearend to get discs, THAT'S BS sports fans.
: went to the junkers today, looking a 302 to put in. fist place had them for $350, second place had them for $900, low mileage.
: : even if i bought one for $350 and it needed to be rebuilt, would it cross $900? which do you think is the better way to go, and are these prices realistic, or are they trying to screw me?
: : also, what years lincoln versailles rearends work on the 74 mav.
