hey man

i just bought a posi/disc/3.23 rear from a 94 Z28

i picked it up last nite



heres my questions:

besides the proportioning valve, what else do i need to change to get the brakes and parking brake to work correctly

it came complete with rotors and calipers


i heard i need to change a few things, but i'm unsure of which

thanx

 

Not too sure about the 4th gen rear; you could ask over at camaroz28.com 's V6 area. But as for hydraulics, I've heard the same thing; you just need the prop valve. You might want to start spraying down the rear brake axle-hose-to-body-hard-line connection now with Liquid Wrench. Also, you should replace your 11 year old body-to-axle hose. If you have an extra $100 lying around, check out http://www.brakebleeder.com - I bought it, and it almost makes bleeding fun!

 

look for manny's posts (Zepher) he has done the swap and would be glad to answer any of your questions you can't find.

 

Tom, I thought you had a 4th gen rear in your bird?

the 4th gen rear is actually going into my Z28

my V6 RS is now officially my beater

 

No, I put a 3.73/posi/disc axle from an '84 Trans Am into my car.

Then the posi blew, and now I'm on a $100 '88 V6 camaro's rear axle for the time being.

 

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

sorry then

 

That's alright, just let us know how your project goes! I'm sure plenty of guys here would be interested in that swap- especially after the hell I went through with my rear discs, before I found out about the $60 recall kit to fix 'em. (82-88 rear discs were recalled.)

 

thanx tom

i need to figure out a way for someone to weld a pipe for EGR and a bungnut for an 02 sensor into my V6 headers

i'm probably going to put those on soon, once i get my Z28 on the road

 

what kind of headers you got? custom?

 

where have you been.......?

they used to make headers a while ago for the 3rd gen V6 f-bodies.......

every once in a while a set pops up on ebay

i got a set that was never used before and are brand new


they are not setup for EGR nor an 02 sensor though
