Question. Wanting to swap a 8.8 in my 4cyl auto to start piecing the suspension out and upgrading before I get a donor car and do a v8 swap.

I know the hard brake lines have to be addressed

Wondering if it is a direct bolt in as far as u-joints and driveshaft lwngth?
Same question if it was an sn95 rear end?

As long as you stay drum. you can use the 7.5 brake lines. I did. The problem comes in to play when you want to add dual exhaust. The 7.5 chassis line bolts right up to the same spot as the passenger side muffler hanger goes.
