If the New Yorker has a 440 in it, its not original. The last year for the 440 in a passenger car was 1978. All that aside, the NYer probably has an 8 1/4 in it. Its easy enough to check. Look at the diff cover. If it looks like the diff cover in your Volare, its the same. If it looks kinda diamond shaped, its a 9 1/4 and wont work

I don't think he has the yorker anymore (pulled years ago)

The last bb yorker I parted was a 9 1/4 (was a 78), so there is a good chance of this stuff not being the same.

ya the new yorker could have been a 1977...i checked the bearing numbers on the suregrip and it's for a 9.25 ring gear....guess i'll put it into my 1991 dodge w100 and look around for a 8.25 posi

May have issues with c clips and axles when you slide that old suregrip into the 91.

Yep. You could only get a 360 in 1979.
