I broke my rear end Busted pinion. I have been looking for a direct swap rear end for my Z. I may have found a 10 bolt direct swap. I would love it if I could find a 12 bolt with drum brakes, but, which 12 or 10 (8...) bolt will fit my Z as a direct bolt up? torque arm attachment? I want a strong rear end and not have to pay-a-outta-da-nose! I can rebuild one myself, just wondering what options we 3rd gen's have?

 

Another 3rd gen rear, build your own 12 bolt or aftermarket rears like Currie

 

Well, I have found a lot of 10 bolts with the 8. rear end and 12 bolts. But how can I tell if they will fit? My rear end has the drum set up for brakes. ???

 

no other rear end will fit other than the 9 bolt or the 3rd gen 10 bolt, no other factory rear at least. no way for a torque arm attachment, you'd need custom braketry with anything else.

 

4th gen 10 bolt will fit. got disc brakes though.

 

no have drum brakes.

 

I feel your pain so I did this...

how did you do that? Or did you pay to get the rear end already made?

 

I built it. If you read the posts on that thread I explain it all.

 

Thank you!

 

So, are you selling these bad boys yet?

I need a new rear!!
