    I need help!

    I don't know where to post this so I put it here. I want to know if a 1989 IROC Z had a better rear end then our cars. I know its a 10 bolt but believe its a 8.5 inch instead of our 7.5 inch. I am wondering if I am correct or wrong as two boys in the woods fucking. Mods can move this to the right forum if they want. Oh and mods can lock this as soon as I find the answer.
    ┌∩┐(◕_◕)┌∩┐

    Man: The Mods you are fighting,
    they are the biggest Men I have ever seen. I
    wouldn't want to fight them!

    Me: That is why no one will remember your name!

    So it would not be worth switching if I had free labor and it had 3.73 gears

    What about abs? Also, Control/torque arm mounts might be slightly different

    If it was stronger I would pay to switch......can't afford $2xxx for a new rear. Any amount of betterness (Yes I made that a word ) would be better. I'll try the other site tho!

    I might be wrong, but if you are talking about the Aussie 9 bolt rear-end, the only cars to have those are the '89 20th Anniversary Trans Am.

    Correct? Or no?

    Here the link for the complete drive train lists of all types of 1989 Camaros, the chart is near the bottom of the page:

    http://www.thirdgen.org/1989-chevy-c...989_drivetrain

    Not sure exactly what you're looking for but if it's not there try the forums, the guys there know a shit ton about third gens.

    green
    98 formula

    third gen rears are narrower. It will bolt in though. I can't imagine it being stronger though.
