Swapping to a 4th gen rear...
I'm gonna go get that 4th gen disc rear end from the boneyard. 3.42 gear, LSD rear end.
What will I need to pull my rear end out (done it before) and stuff this one up into it? I'm getting the rear end for $125, so I figure it's worth it just for the LSD.
I guess I should say... what do I need to make it work?

and you'll need a new proportioning valve, try to steal it from the same car you get the rear out of.

Yes, they are. About 2" I believe.

I'm lookin for a 4th gen rear, If I go to a bone yard, what do I search for, how do I know it is 3.42's. Which models had those? or what rpo code do I look for? or is it stamped on the rear end case?
