7 1/4" to 8 3/4" rear end swap advice

I just did this a couple weeks ago. Used a floor jack.
You will need different shock plates, the 7-1/4 plates are different than the 8-3/4
My rear came with parking brake cables and hose. So I have no idea of differences there.
I just had a new drive shaft made and it was for a Barracuda with a 727 so the length will not be the same.

Thanks Al,glad to get advice from someone who just did it and knows what's involved. As I said in my first post,I don't plan on messing around with cutting my driveshaft. I'll try and find one that's the correct length to work. I do have the correct shock plates. They came with the rear end. I also.have the u bolts.
