I was wondering if I can put a rearend from a 4th gen in my 84 Z28? I hate the rearend in my car now with the drum brakes and 3.23 gears. Oh yeah, it's a single tire pryer as well. If this can't be done what is another rearend that will work with the same torque arm bolt holes and disc brakes? I have to do this because all the Ford 9's can't beat wrecking yard prices.

 

yes you can

you can take a look at many of the current threads, many of them are on thei exact topic, since its asked almost every day....

 

Yup always use the search feature before making a new thread. it'll save you a lot of time while your waitin around for ppl to respond to your thread.

 

I see why it's a popular question, third gens rearends suck. And that feeling is starting spread over the whole car.

 

Only issue with a 3rd gen rear is when you put in a monster hp motor and go to the track - otherwise there's nothing wrong with a 3rd gen rear.

BTW, the 4th rear is the same 10 bolt rear - nothing stronger or better about it - just slightly longer axle tubes and more of them had rear disc brakes.

 

they did have stronger axles around 1990.
