ok I FINALLY got some time to swap the rear in my monte, well 90% of the swap is complete, i still need new shocks, brakes and fill the diff. Anyways ever since i got the car running and on the road, the car has been a dog off the line and i could run 2nd easily to cruise at 50mph, the sluggishness I chalked it up to the dual 3" exhaust flowing too much. But then i remembered that the current rear had junkyard writing on it saying "86 regal". I then thought maybe it has 2:73 gears and with the larger diameter tires and the T5 tranny, maybe thats causing it partly too. The T5 came from an 88 iroc with a 3.45 rear, so the 2:73 would be an issue, anways i pulled the 3.73 posi rear from my 88 monte ss. before i pulled the current rear i opened it up to confirm the gear size...well...with 41 ring teeth and 17 pinion teeth i found out it has 2.41 gears. wow, im suprised it ran like it did and not worse. Once i get to drive it with the 3.73 rear i think i'll be very happy and maybe i wont have to swap the long tube headers for the edelbrock shorties i have.
