swapping drum rearend to disk rearend
my freinds got a camaro with a drum rearend and bad bearings. he has a disk rearend with 373 posi end to end. is it worth swapping to disks or getting the drum rearend rebuilt.

what would he have to do for the swap?

thanks.

Re: swapping drum rearend to disk rearend
What's the 3.73 rear end from? If its from a thirdgen, it'll bolt right up. You'll need a disc/disc proportioning valve in place of the current disc/drum one he has, and possibly a brake line or 2 for the rear.
