My next questions. I just got my '65 Skylark 4-speed 300 ci V8, as a donor car for my '65 GS convertible automatic.
I'm pretty sure my GS has an open rear end (no tag) (AND one of the rear brake drums is stuck), while the '65 Lark 4-speed has a posi rear end.
Question 1. Is this a direct swap?
I also have another '65 Skylark, currently a 300 with a turbo 350. I'm pretty sure that this was originally an open rear end, but was converted to posi, "8.2 BOP axle 390-1 gears, Auburn Gear pro-series locking differential" description from previous owner.
Question 2. Is this a direct swap?
Question 3. Were the rear ends/axles/differentials different on the GS from the Skylark? I've seen discussion here about the axle bearings.
Question 4. If GS rears were different, can I use the Auburn Gear Posi setup in my GS chunk?
Question 5. What would you do?
Thanks!
Steve
