will a 2.8 driveshaft work on a 91z28 or are they made weaker or sumthin? and the 2.8 has 323's and the z28 has 273's, are the v6 gears made weaker also or what? thanx

 

i am not completely sure, but i think i remember that all f-body driveshafts (82-01) are universal. You could probably find an aluminum ds off ebay for about $130.

As for the gears.......

 

No, it will not. At least from what I understand. From the info that I have, the v6 fbodies had 2 peice driveshafts and it will not work on the v8 cars. Now if it's a 1 peice unit, then it might but I don't know for sure.

 

measure the driveshaft from end to end and do the same for the other if it's the same tranny length (700 R4 and T-5) and they're the same length then they'll interchange

no the V6 gears and rears aren't weaker... all 10 bolts are weak to begin with

 

wait... what are you trying to do with the rear ends????

 

the z28 has 273's and the v6 has 343's,i am thinkin bout swaping the gears into the 91 so itll have limited slip w/ 343's... the v6 driveshafts one piece,both cars are manual

 

drive shaft will interchange... the gears won't... different carrier

 

damn,i was really hoping i could switch em out...the 273's kill the car lol.

 

check with 1989t-topGTA. I think he has a 3.23 and larger posi carrier he might get rid of.

 

Your telling me

3.08 and numerically lower ring gears are thicker then 3.23 and up. You may be able to get a spacer and use the 3.42.

 

well ,someone sell me some 342 or 373 gears. or even a whole rear w/ posi.anything but these damn 273's lol

 

send 1989t-topGTA a PM and ask him if he still has it

 

well i dont need to worry about the dirveshaft,i changed the u joints n it runs smooth now.no more vibration,now i just need some gears so i wont be so slow lol

 

dude.. you can take the entire rear end off from the v6 put it on the z28 and the z28 to the v6.. no problems perfect match.. no questions asked...

on the other hand i doubt the driveshaft will work

hey sebastian.. you know what works wonders?

they have the spacers at Loper's. I saw them today.

 

How is that place? I've never been there. Was this the one on Indian School Rd?

 

shawn,gotta go talking smack again dont ya....all i gotta say about that is check your fuses.haha. well im sure the shaft would have worked,their the same length and everything.but i wasnt sure about the strength. and i know the rear end can be changed. just the strength issue.... i dunno,i think ill just rebuild the rear in school sometime and change to some 373's..

 

they have a lot of common parts just laying around. mostly exhaust stuff. they can get you just about anything on order. i went there to see if the machine shop was open today. it closed 3 weeks ago so they sent me to another place. it's on indian school and 9th street.

 

I have a complete disc rearend out of my 84 TA im looking to sell. It has brand new 4.10 Richmond gears which are very friendly with the overdrive, and a posi that is like brand new. Has about 5,000 miles on it. Im going to a 9-bolt. If youre interested, let me know. Im up around 75th ave. and Union Hills. Gimme a call @ 623-572-9769....Joe

 

BTW, i also have a posi carrier out of another 84 TA that Ill sell for $60. It came out of a car with 3.73's.
