2.73 drum, to 3.27 disc rearend a few questions
So im swapping in my 3.27 limited slip disc rearend i have laying around, i have a few questions, i still have the tranny and master cylinder, where is the Speedo gear i need to pull out of the tranny? so when i swap the 3.27 from the 2.73 my Speedo isn't off, and do i need to swap the whole master cylinder to archive the correct line presser between the front and back disc brakes? or just the block that the lines connect too? anything else i might need?

2.73 drum to 3.27 disc rear end
I did this swap on an 88 Camaro a couple of years ago. The rear end was out of an 89 GTA. It had the PBR calipers on it. Yes, the speedo will be off so you'll need to go to the parts department at a gm dealer and get the correct speedo gears for your tire size and rear gear. It's two different gears and a housing that go in the transmission. I can't remember the colors of the gears off the top of my head. But you can get the info on what you need and a better deal at transmissioncenter.net. I also had to order a 1LE parking brake cable in order to hook up the parking brake. Other than that I didn't need anything else for the swap.
