Help with rear end swap
Help with rear end swap
Im new to having a third gen Camaro and I found a nice 92 Z28 with a 5.7 TPI. Well I thought the car had the stock rear end that was a 3.23 so I bought a new rear end to put in the car it is a 410 posi. Well come to find out the rear end was swapped out with a 4th gen rear end and not sure what it is. Is there a reason why someone would have installed a 4th gen in is it better then the third gen. And if so why is it better they both had disc brake set up. So I hope someone can tell me why a 4th gen rear end maybe better than the third gen thanks for any help.

Better brakes, maybe better gears, newer posi.
Allows the use of 4th gen style wheels.

Strength wise, it's the same diff but slightly wider. Normally they're swapped over for a better brake system.
