rear end

[logan13883]

So anyone know or have an opinion on how much a new rear end would help a 3800 * rear end is from a z28 so it has posi and it has 3.73 gears* any thoughts?

Posi will give you better traction. Go for the rear end swap! :D

Re: rear end

3.73s? That's not a stock ratio. But if that's really what they have in there, then you made a great find.

Re: rear end

this is what ur lookin at......swap one in from a Z28, that will cost around 250, that will give u a posi unit plus 3.42 gears and it should give u a disk brake setup.

After that, u can swap in ur choice of gearing. When I got my rear end I swapped in a set of 4.10s and love every second of them. Screw 3.73s, If u wanna fly, get the 4.10s, that install will run u close to 400, so total it shouldnt be any more than 750 for a good solid rear end whereas a brand new one would run u close to 1200

Re: rear end

well , i know a guy that can get one for 200 and thats with 3.73 gears in it heh, and he'll put it on for me probably for like 100, was just wondering the increase in power it might have

Re: rear end

For 200 is a good deal. I would jump on that in a sec. As for the 100 dollar install, I would just do it myself. its not that hard the toughest part is getting the rusted bolts off.

In terms of power gains, u actually wont gain any power but the 3.73s will allow the motor to spin the wheels a lot easier resulting in a faster car. Its kinda like riding a bike. U know how easy it is to peddle when ur in the 18th speed compared to the first speed.
