Default HELP - 12bolt to 10 bolt SWAP

Good Afternoon guys.

I currently have a 69 camaro with a 355 small block, m21 muncie 4-speed and a "1967 12 bolt" chevy rear end with the factory traction bar. The rear end is currently a 4.10 ratio.

I just recently purchased a "used 10 bolt rear end" with a 2.73 factory gear ( I believe its an 8.2 10 bolt, its from a 6 cylinder camaro) I bought the rear end for $150 bucks. I am sure this combination (2.73 with a m21) might be an issue in the city. Any thoughts on this?

Secondly and most importantly. I am concerned about the U-joints to bolt up this rear end. I was told it is not a direct swap. The guy I bought the rear end told me that I would have to buy some special U-joint that would adapt my current setup to the new rear end. Also I am pretty sure the rear drums are a direct swap over.....What else would i Need? Anything I'm missing.

Thanks for the help and let me know if you need any more information.

Thanks.
