My question was:

I believe you're talking about the 9-bolt rear and the 10-bolt rear not having interchangeable gears. I you have a 9-bolt rear with 2.77 then you can't put 3.73's from a 10bolt in it, only 3.27, 3.45, and I think 3.77. but they are all hard to find.

This is one of the only places that I have found. The guy who runs this site is also a member here: 427Camaro, or something like that.
