Swapping rear ends
Does anyone know if the 3.42 posi rear end from a 1989 9C1 Caprice will be compatible with a tbi v8 thirdgen? I have a L05 Caprice donor car and want to pick up a tbi third gen this summer for a swap.

Re: Swapping rear ends
So, are you trying to put the 9C1 axle in a thirdgen? If so, that won't work at all. Completely different rear suspensions.

Re: Swapping rear ends
I was trying to refer to innards, but I don't know that much about rear ends. Can I swap the differentials?
