Rearend third member swap

[duanegatrel]

Have a 1965 Fury, 741 rearend. Want to swap out the 2.93 open, to a 3.91 limited-slip which is also a 741 style rearend. Is it realistic that the axle seals will still seal after the swap, or should seal replacement be obvious? Thanks.

If the did not leak before, no reason to think they will leak afterward. Just be sure to be careful when sliding the axles out and in.

If you can afford them , might be a good idea to replace if they are original (or have been in there a long time).

JMHO,
