rear end swap??? again...

What's stronger a 3.4 rear end out of a 1993 rpo code I believe to be a AU5 vs the 1986 2.8 v6 That I have in the car? GR difference is a 3.23 in the newer one and 3.42 in the older one...

the 93 rear will have 28 spline axles, other than that, no different in strength. but the 92 rear is wider.

The 86 will have 26-spline axles, the 93 28 spline. Check the 10-Bolt FAQ for more info.
