I have a 1984 Trans Am w/ the original 10 bolt. It has factory limited slip and i think it has 3.08 gears.My Question is this:I want to put either 4.10 or 4.56 gears in it to,will the 10 bolt last long and isit worth buying and having these gears installed? Drivetrain is in sig.

 

anybody?

 

no it will not hold up at all .

 

what do yall recommend running? 12 bolt,9",dana?

 

Sure anyone of them would be fine . Do a search on them you will find some comments about which is better

 

i have a moser spool, and axles, c-clip elimnator kit and had no probs running a 10 bolt at the strip with slicks. a 12 bolt or 9" for trird gens is going to cost 2000+ . moser everything will cost abot 500 to 600 . i got this stuff while i was running a 468 bbc with 150 nos. and never broke it so i think it will hold up with mods.

 

thanks I really appreciate the info

 

I think you'd be lucky if it survived, but your call.
as I like to preach:
solid pinion spacer, axle girdle, weld tubes, main cap studs.

 

I have a 10 bolt and am planning on beefing it up in the near future, both these articles are under misc. modifications in the Technical Articles section, i copyed the links for you.
