Impala SS rear end

Does anybody know if the rear axle housing from an Impala will fit in an Elky, or do I have to swap all the parts? I found a rear end with the right gear, positraction, and disc brakes, would love to just bolt it in if it would fit. Any info would be appreciated.

It's always nice to know the model years you have in question, since both models were sold for decades with numerous mechanical changes.

But, without that info, I would say... probably not. Except for the late 50's/early 60's, the Elco used the mid-size chassis (Chevelle, Malibu), which had a narrower axle housing than the full-size Impala.

Even the internal parts may not swap, since a variety of diff gear designs were used.

Yeah I guess that would be helpful (duh).:confused: The Impala is a 93 or 94 and the Elky is an 80. Both are corporate 10 bolt rears, but I dont know the ring gear diameters. I also suspected the Impala rear would be wider than the Elky, I guess a tape measure and straight edge will resolve that issue. If I can get just the brakes to work on the Elky I will be money ahead, the gear and the center section would just be a bonus.

one thing to think of also is if the width is off buy a small enough amount you can try differnt backspacing on you wheels if you dont already have wheels
