So I've figured out that the existing rear end in my ride is too wide even when messing with backspacing. SO..... I'm going to try to find a rear end with the correct dimensions to fit my existing rim/tire combinations. I've done a search, but can't seem to find a thread with popular rear ends and hub to hub measurements. Anybody know of one out there? Bolt pattern would be useful too, I can run 4x1/2 or 4x3/4. Need late model also...
Yes there's one, think its in the archives, had it book marked in my old computer before it crashed. It extremely helpfu
I need to find a rear end 61" from WMS to WMS, with 5 x 4 3/4 (GM)... and preferably lower gear ratio for highway driving (have 350 turbo trans)
Just posted this link a couple hours ago. All kinds of GM ch***is and drivetrain specs available for download. But mostly for Chevys with a few Oldsmobiles and Cadillacs thrown in for now. http://www.gmheritagecenter.com/gm-heritage-archive/vehicle-information-kits.html
60.5" chevy camaro/firebird 70-81 (8.5" RG) leaf spring 60.5" camaro and firebird 82-92 (7.5/7.625 RG) coil spring 60" S10 4X4 (7.625 and 8.5 rg) The camaro and firebirds will generally have 2.41-3.08 gear ratios for the V8's, the sixes usually have higher ratios 3.23-3.73
I just went to CARNUT and found the spec page. Been on there hundreds of times and did not know that was there.
