4th Gen rear end swap?

OK, I found a 1995 Z28 Camaro in a local scrap yard. The engine and transmission have been pulled but the rear end is still there. Does anyone know if a 4th gen rear will work in our cars and if so, what kind of gears did they come with? Also, it is a four wheel disc car so I know some brake changes will have to be made.

Re: 4th Gen rear end swap?

The 4th gen rear will fit on a thirdgen, but the tires will stick out a little more (the 4th gen rear is wider than the thirdgen). As for the gears that it came with, it depends. They didn't all come with one gear ratio.

There are a ton of threads on this subject over in the "Transmission and Drivetrain" section.
