Most guys prefer to use the B body axle with the Dr Diff offset hangers.... Adds an extra inch of room for tires...  And the axle is easier to find...

This kit....      http://www.doctordiff.com/e-body-offset-spring-hanger-shackle-kit.html      Bolts in & allows you to bolt in a axle from a Coronet/Satillite/Charger.....

Will anything else need to be changed over to make the b-body rear end work?  rear end has the same angle ?
thanks

You'll need the proper driveshaft, same as swapping in an E body axle... Also the correct U bolts & spring plates... Again same as swapping in an E body axle..  Pinion angle in theory is the same, but should be checked same as swapping in an E body axle..

You need a B body housing & axles, Brakes can be B, C or E or aftermarket....
