Swapping V6 rear...

I know that thirdgens with a V6 and a manual, have a 3.42 drum rear. Is 90-92 the only years i can do the direct swap. b/c i think i have 31-spline axles and i'd like a rear that is just as strong as mine with the 3.42 gears.

also where is the speedo gear and how do you change it?

All thirdgen rears are V-8 spec. There is no difference in rears between a V-6 and a V-8 except gears. Axle splines, discs/drums, 9 or 10 bolt, etc are all the differences. The # of cylinders has nothing to do with the rear.
