Hey, i'm swapping out an axle from a rearend of a berlinetta to put into a firebird, will this work? or am i out of luck with these parts?

I own a 1984 Pontiac Firebird 2.8L V6, just wondering what parts (if any) would be compatible from a berlinetta.

 

yup...all third and fourth gen rears are direct swaps with eachother.

 

Welcome to TGO. If you're talking about the rear end, yes, the swap is direct. The axles themselves are also a direct swap. Check the FAQ on 10-bolts at the top of the page for further info on what you may need to effect a swap.

Axles are not always a direct swap. There are 26 and 28 spline axles. Be sure that both are the same.

 

Hmmm i see, i'll have to look into it. Thanks

 

the year change was around 89/90. After that was 28 spline 10 bolts, and before was 26 spline. And lets not even touch on 9 bolt rear ends lol. If your swapping entire rear ends and not just axles then it wont matter. If your swapping just the axles then it will.

 

Yeeeeeeeeep, i'm swapping just the axle if possible... lol

 

The Berly / Bird should be a direct swap of 26-spline axles; however, taking a peek before you dive in is always a good idea.

Would an 82 Berlinetta Camaro V6 axle fit an 84 Firebird V6 rear-end?

 

If both rear ends are what you say they are, yes, as both would be 26-spline axles.
