  • Rear end swap

    Say I find a rear end(I'm guessing the disc brakes also) off a Z28 with either the same or better gears than I currently have, what else do I have to change to make it fit? I'm tired of only having one burnout mark and drum brakes. Thanks for the help!

    if they are disc brakes then you'll need different e-brake cables.

    thats all I believe.

      Yep, that's it! Unless you break something during disassembly/re-assembly. I replaced my rear shocks, just because I had everything apart and the old ones had over 90k on them. I replaced my drum brake rear with the posi disk rear, and kept the same 3:23 ratio.
      If you have any questions once you start this project, e-mail me. I'll be happy to help out the best I can.

        At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
        Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...
