I know it's bad and wrong but has anyone done this the car budget is gone and I need traction its eather weld up the spider gears on a 3.23 open rear or put a posi unit with 2.73
the car is driven almost every day but for fun not as means of transportation

 

just put the posi unit in and swap the gears. the welding wont be dependable and may tear the rear up .

 

I didn't think the 3.23 gear off the open rear would fit the posi because the posi has a 2.73 gear on it
doesent that make them different seres

 

I think a by adding a spacer to the 3.23 gear it sould fit the 2.73 carrier.

I may be wrong. I am going from a 2.73 posi and buying a 3.73 gear for this unit. The gear I belive will be thicker for the 2.73 unit. I figure that a spacer on the 3.23 would work for you.

If Im wrong someone help this guy and set me straight. I dont want to stear anyone wrong.

Put the posi in and live with it.

 

Yeah, if you drive it every day as a means of transportation, having it welded won't be a very good idea.

 

I did the spacer in my old 10 bolt rear & it worked fine. I went from 2.73 to 3.73. Welding the spider gears is a bad idea especially on the street. Remember you have to go around corners this stresses the axles big time on welded or spooled rears.
