Need some tips and guidance fellows. Here's the skinny. It is going through a i6-v8 conversion (yeah i know, you told me so), and I am chaning the rear-end because of the simple fact that the stock i6 rear is grinding away. Got the rear end, but I need new brakes and drums form it since it is a v8 rearend. What components do I need? Do i need a new driveshaft (probably). ANything else. All comment will be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!

Springs, Shocks, driveshaft, new u joints, Spring plates, U bolts, brake lines. If your swappin in a 9" rear then your probably going to need a 1330 yoke. Now is the time to get the gears you want, and if your doing it now you might as well swap in the beefier 31 splined axles....but it depends on what your application is and what you intend to do with the car.
