4th gen rear in 2.8?
I have a chance to pick up a 97 z28 rear end and was wondering if it will fit in my 2.8L the same as it fits in a V8? If it does what should I take off the car as far as brake lines, driveshaft, etc? Also where can I find out my gear ratio for the z28 rear?

The 2.8 uses the exact same 10 bolt that the V8 cars use. The 4th gen will cause the wheels to stick out an extra 1.25" on both sides, but otherwise is a bolt-in.
