Will a fourth gen trans am rear end fit on my 82?

My friend has an 95 trans am that just changed from 2.73 to 3.42 rearend. Will his old rear end fit under my 82 camaro. Will it need to be modified?


I read through some of the other posts, it seems that it will bolt in but the e-brake cable is too short. How would i go about fixing this problem? Any other problems with the brakes?

the only big difference would be that the 4th gen rear end is slightly wider (2" i believe) than the 3rd gen rear. So the tires are going to be sticking out a bit more.

cool. The only thing that im worried about is the brake lines for the disc rear end. I had drums on the back before.

you will want the proportioning valve for a disc/disc car. riggin up the lines shouldnt be too bad as long as you have an autoparts store nearby.
