The only alterations are to the brackets although Craig is using stronger upper arms so he'll be fabricating body mounting points for those. When I did this in my car we simply cut the mounts off the 122 rear end and welded them to the 240 rear end. The 240 rear end is less than an inch wider then the 122.

Why not 1800? Availability. 240 rear ends are everywhere and free. 1800 rear ends..not so much. For the cost of a few hours with a welder and grinder the 240 rear end is cheaper by miles.

The only other tricky bit to work out is the parking brake. I went with the center-pull handle and kept the 240 cables. Craig is still working that out...
