Jules - For a 3.42 rear end for the CMC car, you don't need or want brakes on it, just need a built housing with LT1 brake backing plates - to swap, leave the brakes on the car: hang the calipers from the frame, unclip the axle hardline and remove the T bolt from the pumpkin. That and pull the rear LCA/TA bolts and driveshaft straps and the rear end can be swapped quickly, with no need to bleed brakes.
