couple of questions about installing my Ford 9inch

I have everything here but I still need to get the u-joint,sway bar brackets and caliper mounting plate drilled or get one off a newer Camaro. this is what I need to know:

1. What is the part# for the u-joint I need?

2. What do I need to do to get the swaybar to fit on my car other than getting a 3 1/4" muffler clamp?

3. What would be the best thing to do? Drill my mounting plates or get some off a newer Camaro?

1. With a stock driveshaft use a Napa 447X.
2. Other than fabricating a bracket, the muffler clamp is the easiest.
3. I went with drum brakes.

I got you covered. I just did my own 9" swap and i can definatelly save you some time.
1. I'm not sure the part # but I know advanced auto has the universal in stock belive it or not.
2. Seems to me some fabricating is in order.
3.

Go here and check out how I made the earlyeir 10.5" rear disk work. It was pure accident that I made this work. The big problem is the distance from the mounting surface of the rear end to the hub surface. It's different from a camaro. I found that the front disk off a 4x4 s-10 solved this problem. Other than doing it like i have your only other options are useing the stock 9" drums or using an aftermarket kit.
