I also picked up some used rims for a good price. They are 17x9.5 ZR1 style. They need a little work to clean up the flaking chrome and curb rash and I plan on painting them black. But for the price I couldn't resist.

I used a ls6 water pump because the neck on the truck water pump would have hit the throttle body. I reused the stock truck style throttle body.

I also picked up a cheap ls1 intake for $100. Its a 1997 corvette intake which has no EGR port as well as a return style fuel rail so it is perfect for what I am doing.

Finished up the rear end build. I used a ring gear spacer to run the 3.42 gear on the 2.73 posi.

Appears that the auburn posi had worn out many burnouts ago.

I bought a 1998 camaro disk brake rear end that was installed in a 3rd gen. Seller claimed that it had a posi, but when I bought it a knew something was up as it didn't lock both wheels when spinning the pinion. Since it was so cheap though I didn't care. Paid $75 for the rear end. After buying it, I was happy to realize that it had a 3.42 gear ratio which would be perfect for the t5.

It came with spacers required to install 4th gen Camaro rims in a 3rd gen as well as drilled brake rotors!

Plan is to use the series 2 posi with the 3.42 gears by using a adapter ring that I have ordered. I have to do this because the 3.42 gears use a different carrier than the 2.73 gears and I am too cheap to buy a brand new posi.

One axle was chewed up by the bearing so I bought a axle saver bearing. After buying the bearing I was pretty unimpressed by how they are designed and decided I didn't want to keep it long-term. I am going to drive it for a bit and replace it because I don't see it lasting very long.

Since I wanted a posi, I picked up this free drum brake rear end that had one as well as having had a bunch of work done to it such as new brakes, seals etc... However it had a 2.73 rear end ratio which I didn't want.

When I took off the cover, I was not surprised to find a ton of metal shavings attached to the magnet as well as in the oil.

When I opened the cover I was happily surprised to see that there was hints of yellow paint on the auburn springs, which I think makes it a aftermarket replacement unit.
