Will SBP/BBP 7&1/4 axles interchange in the same housing? Thank you for your time

No. The BBP axles have a bigger bearing on them and will physically not fit in a SBP housing.

In my personal experience, the best exchange for a 7 1/4 is from the car to the scrap pile....lol. Just swap the whole thing out, housing, brakes and all, even though that's more trouble. PB Blaster is your friend on the spindly little u bolts.

We raced on it (4:10 welded spiders) to save 100 (iirc) lbs of unsprung over an 8&3/4 & it held up well till the car was wrecked & broke an axle & yes the wreck broke the axle (& more) not the other way around. A consideration was to switch to SBP if that would ease my search for a replacement as I have SBP rims available. With no interchange I will continue searching for a BBP replacement axle. Thanks guys.
