i found a camero posi rear end out of a 82-92 i-rock guy only wants 50 bucks complete drum to drum even has new brake shoes i am going to bag my chevy real soon and am wondering if this will fit under my chevy??? or should i find somehing else? thanks ahead of time .
Careful there... Some IROC rears are a funky borg-warner unit that is weak and has nearly no aftermarket support. You can identify these by their 9-bolt diff cover. Shawn
get your measure tape out.i think you will fine it is to wide. i have used the 70-81 rear and it will only work with conservative tire wheel combo. the 82 up rear is even wider.
well i will be running a 307 (it was free) and its what i got so i just need it to cruise low and slow and its has complete brake setup about the width what kind of rim tire setup is considered conservative? im still not sure what kind of tires i wanna run
oh well, called the guy and he already sold it guess i'll keep looking what setup would you guys recommend that i can easily find complete drum to drum that will work for my application thanks in advanced jim,
Like already stated 81 and earlier camaro with conservative wheel and tire. A step narrower and a dime a dozen is 4x4 s10.
You're right about that. I have a rear out of an 81 Camaro in my 55 and it was a real bitch getting the right backspacing to put on even 235-75-15 tires on. The 81 is I think 1 inch wider per side than stock and the 82 is even wider. I had to have 4 1/8 backspace on a 7 inch wheel and that just barely made it on the car.
i like the gm metric rear. 78-82 or so malibu.cutlass, regal ect. around 58". you have to clean off the coil brks. fits well under 37-54 chevys. has the common chevy 5 on 4 3/4 bolt circle.
