To my question...
It is difficult finding a LT1 rear end with traction control...would I be able to use a traction control rear end from an LS1 car?

Remember you will need to get the computer reporogrammed for the gear change.
I know a 96-97 rear and some 95 rears with traction control will bolt right into my car. And I have no desire to put an earlier year rear in my car, as I stated I want to keep the traction control.

My question was whether or not I can put in a rear from an LS1 F-body with Traction control. If I do that, then not only will I be able to get a better gear ration, but I will also have the bigger brakes. Doing this will be cheaper in the here and now than having my current rear rebuilt with nice new parts...I did the price checking. My desrie is not for a bullet proof rear here, I just want better gears and bigger brakes...my car is mostly stock right now. Down the road when money is more plentiful and more go fats parts are added, I will then get that nice LS1 rear rebuilt and maybe even jump up to 3.73...get what I mean?
