Only another thirdgen rear is a bolt in. A fourthgen rear bolts in too, but is an inch or two wider.

Look for a rear from a GTA, I found one in the junkyard, it was a 10 bolt disc brake rear with 3.73 gears and positraction. The 9 bolt rears are a little stronger due to the slightly bigger ring gear, but the best ratio offered was 3.70 which is rare, and you cannot get a lower ring and pinion than 3.70. Where as the 10 bolt had various factory gearing and various aftermarket choices.
