New camaro help

just bought a new to me 92 camaro shell to swap all my stuff over, as i researched into the car, i was suprised to see the flame red interior, which around here is hard to find in nice shape, i knew it was an automatic and 3.1L but its telling me it has a dana rear in it, im calling bs on it. but just for giggles im curious to know if that was even slightly possible

Re: New camaro help

my question exactly, a v6 doesnt really need that extra strength to it, and theres only been one owner who actually put miles on it, and it doesnt look like any of the rear end stuff has ever been removed or replaced

Easy enough to find out. Snap a pic of it and post it up and I can tell you by how it looks. Also, I'm not 100% sure but I thought the dana rears were 11 or 12 bolts?? I'll have to count mine and let you know. Sad that I don't even know how many bolts are on mine lol.
