i have the open 3.08 rear and i was wondering if i should get a locker or get a whole rear end out of iroc? i would think the locker is good for the money and my buddy said he can do it (for free) in less than an hour?

get the entire rear out of a v6 fbody. they had 3.73's, then get the powertrax lockup unit. you should be able to get all of that for under 450. and youve then got a lockup rear, that will take all the power your car could give it. assuming you dont have a monster. but if you did have, you wouldnt be asking that question 

i didnt realize it was that cheap. is that going to be a drum rear end or a disc?

He's probably referring to drum rear end because they are generally cheaper then disk, stick with rear brakes you have, unless you want to do a bunch of converting
yea i currently have rear drums, so that rear end will just bolt in with no mods? also, what year shoould i get, i thought some came with 3.42's.

It was the 4cyl that got the 3.73 gears, (those 90 hp brutes needed every bit of help they could get just to move <font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by snflupigus:

Keep your eyes out for good deals. I picked up a 3.42 posi rear with disc breaks out of a 98Z for $325 dropped off at my door.
Of course I still need to get off my lazy *** and get it in

i just found an ad in the paper for a 83 with no motor for a hudred bux. i am gonna call him tommorow and go check it out. who knows, i may get a rear end and part out the rest of it. i know a guy who wants some body panels too. i may end up getting a hell of a deal.
