rear end swap...

my uncle is selling his monte carlo to me!!

$500 including 3:23 rear out of a Z28....FULL REAR END

my question is.....how hard is it to swap out the rear end from the Z to the monte? Both are 87's and full posi. I was told that I had to take the guts out and swap out the guts....if i take it to a shop...how much is this looking to cost me?

why do you want to if they're the same thing. you can swap carriers but you'd end up with what you already have. should take a few hours to do. call shops in your area and ask for a quote.
