The rears that are in F-Bodies from 82-02 are said to be terrible for withstanding even stock abuse. Which I believe from all the horror stories I have read.
Is there no way to use a 8.5 10 bolt from older GM's? Is it that difficult to get it to work on these type of vehicles?
There are a bunch of racers including myself running a 8.5 10 bolt housing with the tubes welded and have aftermarket high performance guts in them running deep in the 10's. Why cant you guys do this?
Obviously if I new the answer, I would not have posted this.

Yeah, I think Kurt Urban was running in the 8's on a 8.5" 10 bolt a few years back with no issue.
Besides the torque arm mount, everything is on a small scale. The ring gear, the carrier, etc. The 7.5 was originally designed for a
Vega. A light, 4cyl, compact car. Not a heavy powerful car like a 4th gen.
