Easiest way to do it would be go to a salvage yard, and grab the entire rear-end from a Y87 camaro. this will give you 3.42's and LSD. Changing the gears themselves is a very precise process, and can get expensive in labor.1997 Y87 Camaro with a motor and some stuff. -
or find a used 98+ f-body with the y-87 pkg. so you don't have to spend all that money on installing a new rearend. If all you want is 3.42 w/ lsd/posi, save your cash for a new moser 12-bolt setup with abs, disk brakes, 3.42 w/lsd for about $3000= installed.2001 Arctic White Firebird<br />T-Tops, 3.42 rear gear stock<br />Mods:K&N Air Filter,Whisper Air Induction Lid, maf screen removed, raised air box, Kumho Ecsta 712 255-50-ZR16 tires, BMR stb<br />Mods not installed yet: FTRA, SLP Lsd/Differential cover<br />Near Future Mods: HPP3, GMMG 3\" Exhaust , 1LE Swaybars, Transgo Shift Kit, MSD-DIS-4 w/ Accel Coil-Packs, Turquoise Blue Neon Underbody Kit, BMR Adj.

Would I be able to take a rear end from a junkyard F-body with the Y-87 package and put it in my car since it has the 3.4 and Y-87's were in 3.8's? Or better put, can this be done fairly easily and cheap, or is it a big hassel? Thanks for any help! :D\'95 Med.

Umm, its not that bad to change your gears. I got a ring and pinion set brand new off ebay for $80, bought the Zexel-Torsen LSD from slponline.com for $99, handed the mechanic $300 for the install. That comes to $480 for complete gear swap, quite a bit cheaper than a new $3000 rearend and better than $200 for a junkyard rearend and $250 for the install. Just my .02C.
