rear end swap

I found a 3.23 rear for sale for real cheap. My question is would it be worth it/possible to swap my 2.73 rear for the 3.23? 2000 auto z28

Larry, it would help. We can swap a rear in a couple hours if you want...

With 3.23's, what the TA has, it feels alot peppier then a car with 2.73's. With a converter, a 3600 or so and your current mods, you should have alot of problems hooking off the line

Yeah, we would have to take your reluctor rings from your rear and put them in the 3.23 rear.

What did the rear come out of? Like, a ABS/TC car?

How cheap was cheap? I know someone getting rid of his 342 posi rear in a month or two for a fab 9 if his price is in your ballpark ill let you know.
