Hey guys,
Im in the process of tackling the rear end for a future AI camaro. I've seen different set ups for different applications. I currently have 85 Iroc with 7 5/8 stock 3.73, with Power Traxx posi. I carry ZR1 11" on back with spacers. Id like to beef up rear, add disc brakes and set up proportioning valve. Which option would be best for least money. Chattanooga, TN. |

QUOTE (IROC383 @ Oct 18 2010, 08:58 AM)  Which option would be best for least money. My vote, 4th gen 10 bolt. You could probably find a V6 3.42 with an open diff and disk brakes for dirt cheap. Do some searches on the best diff to use, buy it, swap it in. Look over the axle shafts in the wheel bearing area for spalling, that is common. Depending on trans, engine torque curve, and the tracks you run at you might like a 3.73 gear better. If you're changing gears I'd recommend new bearings at the same time and you'll need to do a whole new set-up which can be time consuming to do right. |
