3.73 for 3.23 Swap??

Hello all.

From my research My 1985, 305 tpI IROC has an 3.23 rearend. The gears have seen much better days. I have the opportunity to grab an 3.73 rearend with disc brakes for pretty cheep.
Other then the spedo being off is there anything else I would have to consider to change out the rearends?

thanks for all your help,

R/

If your car has drums, you'll want to get the disc combination valve. Grab the parking brake cables as well. There may be info in the following link that will be of some interest:
