uh oh... i blew up my rearend... haha, on my way to work this mornin loud BOOM!!! then smoke and rattling and smelly burned gear oil goodness.... yay! anyone have a posi rear lying around? haha. I hope its just the pinion seal that blew up and i didnt destroy any of the internals. im going to pull the rear and take it apart tomorrow morning when i have daylight and tools, ill keep you guys updated...

I've got a 3.23 non-posi drum rear sitting in the garage, let me know if you're interested.

i might be... ill let ya know tomorrow..

Check PM

Yes. A 3.27 9-bolt from a 88 Firebird.

Lon

hmmm.... disc or no?

Yes disc. The rear is complete discs, calipers, backing plates, hard lines and also includes the e-brake cables.

Lon

price lower than 400?

Sure. Call me and we'll talk.

Lon

i decided to go with another offer i have... thanks though.

I might be able to get you the rear with no gears or carrier that is a disc brake rear end, it would be for free as long as you pick it up

Hey Lon, still got that rear?? Im looking for something better than my 2.77 drum rear for my 89 Iroc. Thanks

Tony

Yes, it's still here.

Lon

UPDATE!!! This is what happened... ouch

The pinion broke?
That would be a first

thats what i said! lol, i think its just severely bent.. not broke.. cuz the car still moves... oh well... go with my motto... if it broke, just means it wasnt strong enough!

My motto is ...if it didnt break, your engine doesnt make enough power.

lol, well mine broke and my engine STILL doesn't have enough!!! lol!!!

Interesting.. Did the pinion bolt come loose?

nope, still tight as ever... it just blew the whole front off... dunno how.. lol

Pinion bearing and or case failure due to Dukes of Hazzard racing.

lol, possibly... i dont really push it all that much though... not with $3.00 gallon gas and it being slow anyway... but ive heard of snapping gears or wheel studs or u-joints... but ive never seen that happen..

My 1972 Datsun 510 w/Madzatrix peripheral port 13b circa 1993-94 Brotherhood Raceway broke all of the wheel studs on passenger side rear wheel while attempting to leave on slicks. Got a standing ovation but talk about a bitch to deal with…

umm..............what?











say that 3 times fast

Brotherhood reaceway...you mean the homeboys didnt trip because an OC boy ventured up north to the southbay?

No mames ese… I was born and raised in Gardena where I lived until 1997 when I moved to South Orange County. Oh and no the homies didn’t trip because I was one of them. But there were plenty of Orange County Mustang Punks that we sand bagged at the track only to double our money hours later on Alameda.

Those were the days...

72 510's weight about 1200 lbs soaking wet.

A 4banger with a 3speed auto would blow most anything away.

hmmm.... do you think it would make my car run horrifically bad if i put in the LT1 cam and 083's i have now without doing a new tune? cuz i dont want to waste time and money on tuning a setup i dont plan to keep... im already runnin rich through all rpm, loaded or not, but being a tuning N00b im probably wrong in assuming it wouldnt be THAT bad... im pulling the radiator to put some teflon tape on the transmission cooler lines that Summit forgot to put on, im replacing the rear main seal and the intake manifold gasket... replacing the rear axle and the transmission mount... i figure i might as well slap the heads and cam on there while its all apart... but if it will run worse, then ill just leave it alone...

i just picked up my new rear. it will be in the car by tuesday the 18th. cant wait! now i need an ebrake bracket... maybe i can have don do that when i have him install my subframes.

UPDATE~~~

LS1 rear swap finished... well, all except the e-brakes, don, gunna need some help with those.. lol maybe when i get my subframes done. i like 3.73's but my speedo is rediculously off and my tach is even worse... with my 700r4 it shifts at a supposed 7000 RPM on the tach at WOT... lol, no. other than that, muy impressed... the rear disc is a HUGE improvement... thanks ken! ttyl

Yea, I really liked the brake setup on that rear.
Hope you like it as much as I did (for about a thousand miles)

i do need new rims though... mine stick out vato lowrider style... lol almost a full inch beyond the fender flare... its crazy... lol

Wut a coincidence, i happen to have some black zr1's for sale
