Look what I picked up yesterday!
Finally got my hands a better rear for my car. Stole it for $400 bucks off a guy locally.
Came off a 1999 LS1 Camaro with ~90K miles, GM 7.5 10 Bolt, Torsen Positive traction differential, 4:10 gears, PBR Brakes and Sway bar. Even has the ABS. Came with the eBrake lines too. Just have to buy a disk/disk proportional valve.
Going to spend a week cleaning it up, painting it, replacing brake pads and such. Then spend a weekend getting it installed. That'll be a couples weeks though, have my hands full with body work at the moment.

I didn't even have to pick it up, he dropped it off at my house for me, because he was going pass my area for his sons baseball game!

Re: Look what I picked up yesterday!
bear in mind, this is still a stock 10 bolt, so no stronger than any of the 3rd gen 10 bolts with the 28 spline axles. they are a nice upgrade for guys who have relatively stock motors but stuck without posi or disc brakes, but a built setup can kill them.

Re: Look what I picked up yesterday!
Indeed. Building is always going to be better. But exponentially more expensive. :/

Re: Look what I picked up yesterday!
I'm one of those people. I got a 3.23 Limited Slip out of a 1994 Camaro with Disc Brakes (Of Course). I love it! Never changed the Combo Valve. Braking is great!

Re: Look what I picked up yesterday!
Before you take out your old rear end, make sure that "T" connector on the differential for your brakes has the same threads as the one on the car. On the 82-84 Diffs, they may have a different size. Mine did and none of the part houses had that in stock. All of them said it was a week wait. I finally brought the old one to a place that makes the connector custom and that worked. you also have to get the E-Brake cables from a 90-92 Camaro. The other ones are too short. Again, those are special order from the parts house. I recommend that you have all of those parts BEFORE you begin.

Re: Look what I picked up yesterday!
I am glad James convinced me to get the J65 valve for my setup. Braking is night and day from the old valve. Night and day.
I'd never recommend not replacing it after seeing the difference myself.

Re: Look what I picked up yesterday!
These are after I got it all cleaned up right before it went under the car!
Only got to take it down the road for about 5mins. It's getting some paint work done today so it's been getting prep'd for that. Huge difference in acceleration! Love it!
