swapping in ford 9"
you will need to make sure its the same width of the origanal axle, also you will need to weld in all new spring pearches and shock mounts, probley need a diffrent u joint, possibly new driveshaft.

With the leaf springs of the Nova, it's a lot easier than putting one in a third gen. Everything TempesT68 said.
