g body rear end upgrade
Posted: Tue Jun 09, 2009 10:03 pm
Good morning. Just read your post on g body forum, and found it to be very enlightening.
My current setup is an 86 regal with an olds 350. Big valves, street cam, rebuilt and modified 200-4r. Transmission is built for a 3.73 gear.
Rear axle is the stock 3.08. Converter is stock. Cam works best from 2000-5500. Seems like a 2400 stall is what I need,
but I'm afraid the rear end won't hold up. Weekend driver, maybe some strip. Have an olds 455 just waiting to be rebuilt, so that needs to be factored in. What would you suggest? And how much would a complete rear end with discs cost? Couldn't find a phone number to call for a quote.
Thanks for your consideration.
