I've heard of that being done somewhere, but you'll lose the rear wheel ABS if you do. Afraid that's all I can offer.

No, a stock 8 1/4 or 9 1/4 are carrier type rears, the gear set is in a permanant carrier. The "third member" your refering to is and old style housing that has the gears set in a removable "3rd member".

You will need to swap in the wole 8 3/4 rear to be able to use the 3rd member.

Hope this helped.

Aw shoot, I'm sorry -- I missed the 3rd member and was thinking it was the whole unit. My mistake, guys.
