If you goto the junkyard I'm sure you could take off the cover and check to see if it has a LSD, and I don't think theres away to tell the ratio by just looking at the gears themselves though. Ask the junkyard if they still have the bodys and if they do check the PRO codes for 3.42s.Ben<br /><br />1995 White/Black 3.4L<br />As far away from stock as possible<br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=288292\" target=\"_blank\">My Site!!!</a><br /><a href=\"http://www.redlinevsix.com\" target=\"_blank\">RedLineV6</a><br />Rebuild and 3.4 T70 Turbo is complete<br />Details to come.... -
If they both have drums they are V6's and most likely not 3.42's and LSD unless the owner of the car changed the differential but not the whole rear axle. I am pretty sure that no Z28's/TA's came with drum brakes.

You should be able tell what the ratio is and is it is limited slip without taking the cover off.
If you spin one side of the axle and the other side spins in the same direction then you have a limited slip. If the other side moves in the opposite direction or doesn't move at all then you have a peg leg pete.
For determining your ration do this: Put a mark on the yolk of the differential. Now put a mark on the drum somewhere. Now sping the drum and count how many times that the driveshaft spins for the drum to make one complete revolution. Should give you a pretty good idea of the ratio the rear end has.Comment

GM made plenty of non Z28 or T/A F-bodys with V8s and drum brakes.Comment

Thats stupid to pay that much for an axle with drum brakes. Get one with discs for about the same price and swap the whole rear end in.Comment

As far as I know... all 4th gen v8s had drums...
only car to be kind of dumbed down like a v6 was the 1Le and it definitely has disc brakes.Comment

All 4th gen V8s had disc brakes in the rear. 1993, well, Im not sure about 1993 but I know for a FACT 1994+ v8 F-bodies have/had disc brakes in the rear.Mustangs.. Come to the darkside...<br /><br />The dark side is the path to the shadow of greed. =DComment

I wouldn't invest my money into a drum rear unless you plan on selling it soon. Save for a disk setup. You'll be pleased with the results.sigpicComment

ths other junkyard says they can find a rear end wth disk brakes 3.42s and posi for 250. im kinda worried tho, what if somethin i wrong with it? like the posi is weak or its jus jacked, i guess my question is u think i should wait untilthey have one available so i can check it out before buying it or u think ordering is okSLP CAI, RK Sport headers, P&Ped heads and intake, GT2 cam, Upgraded valvetrain, Z28 rear axle with 4.10s Tx Spd tune, Z06 rims, 2.5\" exhaust to flowmaster, 160* thermo, B&M ripper, upgraded ignition, rockford fosgate 12\" with sony xplode amp and HU.Comment

most junkyards have a warranty on their parts. MOST. Just be sure to say "Hey, if this breaks are you going to get me a replacement?"Mustangs.. Come to the darkside...<br /><br />The dark side is the path to the shadow of greed. =DComment
