Really easy. I could even supply you with a rear end to swap, and we could just swap

Unhappy
The first problem is you are gonna devalue your car. Perhaps several thousand dollars. The IRS can be upgraded in a big way unless you are just sold on making a dedicated drag car.

You may also just want to upgrade to a 31 spline carrier and axles. The 28 splines can't take that much
