You plan on open tracking or autocrossing it?

Its been done, can't find the pics at the moment. But why?
You are going to spend a fortune to put a rear that rivals the 10 bolt in suckyness...

mostly tracking so it probably wouldn't be worth it. i was just wondering how much it would cost to put it in there because its def a step up from the rear in my car, plus i heard those rear drive shafts can handle around 450hp. i could def take corners like a champ lol

not sure to tell you the truth, my dad called me and told me he found me a 94 vette for a grand with 44k on the motor. i didn't get a chance to dip into detail about it because my family left for the shore before i got back from work friday lol. i will have all the details up tonight on it if anyone is interested in parts.

I as well thought about a C4 transaxle conversion into the camaro. I do autocross, so it might be nice to have IRS, even though the C4's have some geometry issue's.

Would probably be cheaper to just buy and fix the Vette. And as above, if you swap then you have to deal with geometry issues and extra driveline alignment BS.

yeah, you basically got to start from scratch, no tech articles on this, nor kits, you have to fab all the mounting points,and do some customizing with the DS and what not to get it to work.

yeah screw that lol. its one thing if there was a kit for it and it could be done without custom fab work but to have to do all custom stuff to gain pretty much nothing isnt worth it.
