4th Gen Rear - NJFBOA - Home of New Jersey's Camaros and Firebirds

ar0ck · 08-18-2004, 11:23 AM

Does anyone have any pictures of what it looks like in a 3rd gen with 3rd gen wheels? Im just curious of how far the wheels really stick out. Im begining to be afraid of that mexican beener look.

Also if I put my 3rd gen Drums onto the 4th gen rear, will I be able to still put 4th gen wheels on it?

you drums won't go onto teh 4th gen rear unless you are into fabrication. the mounts for the drum set up and disc set ups are totally different.
what gears are you looking to do? if you want 3.42's there is an much easier way. go to the yard and find a V6 car, look for code GU6 on teh rpo sheet. that means 3.42 gears. then call up summit or watch teh classifieds and a posi unit for the appropriate axle spline count and for 3.23 or higher ratio.
add posi to 3.42 rear and you have a nice gain in grip and et for under 400bucks.

pretty sure the take off units sold out a long while ago, i was gonna get one but ended up getting a 4th gen rear (sitting in my garage)

Those take off units are long gone...

I have a complete rear-end. Just no breaks. And Im not in the mood to hook up a disk set-up.

What do I need to convert the rear breaks to Disc? Can you list all the parts I would need, and where I could possibly get them for cheap.
