i have an 89 camaro that had a 2.8 v6 in it and i was wondering what gears are in the rear end ?
also im getting a late 80's early 90's 350 engine what kind of hp will it have stock ?
and finally im putting all that together with an 700r4 trans what do you guys think my over all performence would be
all i have left to put in is the engine
i will have headers on it and it's gonna be carberated

 

since you had a 2.8, it probably has 3.23 or 3.42 gears, your RPO codes will say what it came with stock, they are inside the center console on the passenger side of the compartment

you can decode them HERE

 

10-bolt with non-limited slip 3:42.

 

yeah i just checked my codes and the rear axle is 3.42 so is that good or is it gonna cause me problems with a 350 hooked to a 700r4 trans to the axle........ whats the pro's and con's?

 

3:42 gears is one of the better ratios for a 350, your only problem will be that its a open rear (no limited slip). And if you try to find one your other problems is you may have 26 spline axle shafts.

 

okay why would a 26spline be a problem whats the difference between any of them? and how can i change it .. thanx's
