Re: v8 rear end swap
becarefull when doing this swap i did it and my v6 rear had 3.23 gears and the v8 only has 2.73 lost alot of pulling power... i preaty sure the autos came with 2.73 cause they were only 4 speeds if you get a rear out of a 6 speed car i think they have 3.42s do your research before you regret doing all the labor and you are slower... also e brake cables are different

Re: v8 rear end swap
Not sure about the LT1 cars, but for the LS1s: autos came with either a 2.73 or 3.23 gear. The easiest way to tell is by the driveshaft. If it came with a steel driveshaft, it has 2.73s. If it came with an aluminum driveshaft, it has 3.23s. All manual trans cars got 3.42s (and an aluminum driveshaft).-<i>Travis</i><br /><b>99 Trans Am, Pewter, A4</b> Forged, stalled, and cammed<br /><b>85 Buick Regal WH1 T-Type</b> It\'d be cool if it ran...<br /><b>94 Camaro 3.4, Teal, M5</b> The daily beater

by ssms5411Went ahead and moved my starter wire from the back, to the front again since it had no effect on my drain on the battery. Also made me nervous driving...1 week ago
