7.5 to 8.25 swap findings

Another new day. Finished the job on swapping the rear yesterday. Only things I don't have done are the brake hose swap to one that has a block that aligns with my hard lines on the rear end and I need to take the drive shaft down to get it shortened by the 1.5 inches that was posted on this forum.

It still looks like the u-joint on the driveshaft will bolt onto the rear end yoke. I popped one of the caps off of the u-joint and it clicked right into the yoke cup. Anyone confirm the differences? Would the cap sizes be different between the two joints or is it just a length issue?

On another note, looked at my '73 Dart parts car. It came with a 318 and a large bolt pattern 7.5 2.76 rear in the back of it. The emergency brake cable routing is the same as what was on the '75 Scamp I got the rear end out of. One short cable off the rear end each side, into a C clip and then on to an adjuster on each side. Would have been a true bolt on with this car if doing the swap as I had it. Anyway, just found it interesting.
