Hey all, new here. I'm looking for any and all helpful suggestions. Over the weekend, I broke my pinion on my borg warner in my 89 firebird LT1 running CMC2. I had been running a 3.45 gear but was considering going to a 10 bolt and a 3.90.
Any suggestions regarding the rear end and differential is appreciated. |

QUOTE 7.29.2 Both GM and Ford cars may also use a Ford 9”, GM 12 bolt, or Dana 44 rear axle housing, but the housing must maintain both the exact OEM suspension pickup points and OEM rear end geometry as the originally equipped axle assembly. Does changing the track width (if you don't swap wheels to 4th gen wheels or make any other changes) fit under keeping the same rear end geometry? I'm not picking a fight, I'm really asking for clarification. That rule could be read to allow the rear, or not. Typically I didn't think update/backdate crossed generations, so I didn't think that would allow it. Any thoughts? |
