Rear Swap
So the weather is finally going to be nice toward the end of the week. It has rained here almost every day so my swap keeps getting delayed. This saturday is going to be nice so Im doing it then. Taking the 3.73 out of my 89 and swapping it into the 87 z28. Last time I did it was about 6 years ago so I may be a bit rusty. Anyone have any tips Id be glad to hear them!

Re: Rear Swap
The whole axle. Last time I did this it wasn't in a car already so it was a little easier. This time I got twice the work.

Re: Rear Swap
Finally got the rear out of the 89 today. Nice sunny day. it was only like 95 degrees and humid which sure does make things harder. especially when you got sweat dripping into your eyes! Didn't have time to remove the rear out of the z28, got held up a bit when it down poured for a good hour. Going to take the rear and the z28 tomorrow to my buddies shop to finish the job. gotta throw some pics up i suppose!

Re: Rear Swap
Finished last wednesday. First photo is the spring mount on the old rear, or what was left of it. Second is the new rear before it went in.
