nova or camaro rear

 

there is no direct bolt in other than 56, 56, 57. go to trifive.com and look in the driveline section for ideas

 

I have a 81 Camaro in mine. Falls straight on the perches but is 1 inch longer per side so wheel well room can be an issue. You'll need wheels with a 4 inch back space to work. Also 1st generation Camaro or Firebird is the correct length but then you have to move the perches. There are others as well including 9 in. Fords from Mustangs that are the right length but I don't remember the years. Good luck They are out there

 

I have one that I am considering swapping out. It is currently under my '30 chevy coupe. PM me if you're interested. Where in NJ are you? I have a IRS for another project that needs to come to MD, we could help each other out probably. Thanks

 

Dont know if your interested but I bought a direct bolt in 9" from a guy on ebay, drum to drum, center section excluded for $750.

 

Just fix the original. They're an EXCELLENT rear, if you simply select a few upgraded components.
Here's under the 55 210 that I did for my brother.
Aluminum head 468 BBC, all steel car.
I replaced the posi unit with a spool, and the car ran 9.70 @ 140 MPH.

These rears work.

Where'd you find a spool?
