Info on changing my rear end
 

I have a 94 with rear drums. Im looking for information on how i should go about upgrading them to disk breaks. If you could bear with me im not a car guy but i am slowly becoming one everythime something goes wrong with my car.

-what does "posi" mean when you talk about a rear end?
-what gears should i be looking for? what year f-bodys should i look for?

I guess well start there, and again im sorry i dont know more - im gona do some searching on this board, but i wanted to post something.

Thanks for any info!

ok i understand posi...ha, sorry i wasnt sure i was correct, but i was right. so i want a posi rear: found one out of a 94 for $250 ( is that a decent price) but what is a shop going to charge me (ball park) to install.

buy beers(soda for under 21) and pizza for a bunch of guys here, and i think you'll get some free labor, lol

im selling one on craigslist and i think we have been e-mailing eachother its not a tough job to install it all you need is a floor jack and spring compressor

You don't need a spring compressor to change in a rear in a 3rd or 4th gen.

3rdgenlt1 - oh ok, yea. Im deff interrested. 2hrs away is not that bad.

i would buy whom ever a keg if they installed it for me!

the hardest part will be changing the brakes over from drum to disc, ie bleeding etc. ive done several rear end swaps, f and g bodies and it can go real quick

If you can't find anyone to help you out for beer and pizza let me know and I'll quote you a good price to do it at my shop.

Where you located at and do you have the rear now? i jsut installed one last december in bubba's car, and several times in mine. Id have no problem banging that out on a weekend day. PM me and we'll see whats up.

He's located in Sewell. And your part of the reason hes driving around with no back brakes????

PM sent

was only messin' with ya.

USP If you need help or advice I'll do what i can. I may have my rear end for sale pretty soon.

:lol: :lol: I heard about that

Id find a whole rear end, contemporary corvette has them... no sense in converting over cost way too much..

def don't need a spring compressor.. I had the camaro on floor jacks and the rear on a jack and did it that way...... The conversion from drum to disc is no change in brakes on a 3rd gen atleast, except for proportioning valve.....

I have a disc brake proportioning valve for sale...

believe me, if only you knew ;)

I bought my 3.42 posi from them, they had a crazy sale on ebay $100 and $100 shipping to a business. Good people to deal with.

I just put a new rear in my '83 camaro, its real easy, just take bolts out and put them back in. :)
