D36-D44 Swap question

[Jsup]

I am swapping a D36 for a D44 this weekend. My question is if the bolts to the C beam are the same size/length.

I know they are different locations, just need to know if I need to get new bolts.

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure the bolts are the same length.

Did he have to drill new holes on the D44 C beam? I see he had to drill, but is that because the CBEAM didn't fit?

Also, any idea of fluid capacity?

Thanks

Yes, the old holes are not in the right spot. He used his old c-beam.

The D44 takes about the same amount as the D36 I would guess, just fill till it trickles out the filler plug hole.

I think 2 quarts....I get the valvoline with the additive in it already and never had a issue.....guys do recommend the GM additive with normal oils...but I personally never had a issue for countless posi diffy's from Chrysler/Auburns to GM clutches....and my '72 included....

I went with normal oil, dino stuff, not synthetic. $5 a quart vs. $12. Got 3 quarts and the additive.

Should be fine went with 85-140 Hi Performance oil.

Comments? Is synthetic necessary at double the price and change?
