Replacing ring and pinion and carrier 1978 Monte

[Wayne Gower]

Yes I have a 78 monte I have replaced the engine with a 400 sbc.It ripped the rear right out and destroyed it.It is a 7.5 Rear with a 273 gear.I got a rear out of a s-10.The s-10 rear is a 7,5 with a 342 ring and pinion.I tried to swap the carriers and the pinion is hitting the carrier.Shouldnt this work without hitting all I am doing is putting the carrier and gears in a different housing both are 7.5s.This gear was working perfectly on this carrier,Just in another housing both the same size.
PLEASE HELP

put in the whole rear axel of the s10, chev 1500 rear axel will fit for sure, try it if the s10 axel doesnt fit.
