The pumpkin from a 9" will not fit into an 8" housing. You're looking at changing the entire thing, from brake drum to brake drum, depending on the 9" you get. The rear ends from the late 50's are getting hard to find. Most any thing else will have to be shortened by a shop and your looking at $$$. For a few more $$ you can get a new 9" from Currie that is made for your car. HTH
