changing rearend
I bought a 8'' ford rearend with 3.0 gears an had a 350 trans.
rebuilt for it, now I sold the 8'' an bought a 9'' Heidt's with 3.50
gears do I need to change something in my trans.

Not exactly sure what your thought line is here, but the trans doesn't care what rear you have in a broad sense. If you had a drive shaft already built you may want to check the rear joint is all. If you'd already gotten the correct speedo gear for the gear ratio and tire size you should already be set there as well.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
Dammit, another good ol boy gone. Condolence to the family. RIP Mike
