That's pretty much it. I just blew the differential in my '88 Trans Am and have been wanting to go to a 4th gen...now I'm being forced to do it sooner. I'm located near Chicago, IL so anything close would be great, I need it ASAP. I need the entire assembly that will bolt into a 3rd gen (everything, disc-to-disc including E-brake cables).

Shoot me some prices and include the model year it came off of and miles.

Well, that sounds awesome but its a little bit far away. I'm working just about every day this week, so I don't think I'd be able to make it out to Detroit.. The other problem is that the LS1 rear isn't exactly a bolt-on because the brakes are a bit different.

Well since you aren't interested in Time2kill's rearend. I am going to schmooze in here and give you a free TTT.


Would the 01 rear be a direct swap if I used the brakes off my 95 on it? If not what would need to be changed? I am near Detroit and I need a new rear end also.

DuronClocker

Actually I've learned that the LS1 rear swap should be the same as an LT1 rear swap for me. I just can't drive the 5 hours to Detroit to pick up the rear-end. Great price though, so take it man.

From what I was told and experienced, the axles are slightly longer on the LS1 rears and need to be swapped with the original LT1 length axles for the brake stuff to line up.

DuronClocker

I don't see how, as the brake lines would be on the axle already. I would connect the car's hardlines to the hardlines that come off the middle of the rear...

RMC

Brake lines don't matter it's the backing plates and distance the caliper sits from the end of the axle. If you swap an LS1 rear but put on your LT1 brakes and backing plate then you're caliper won't line up quite right because the axle inside the rear end is slightly longer and sticks out further from the end of the axle tube.

DuronClocker

Oooh that only applies to Eddie95Z28 above who would use the LT1 brakes with the LS1 rear. I would use the entire rear-end assembly off of the LS1 car, including axles, rotors, calipers, lines, etc. to swap into my '88 Trans Am..

I have two for sale. One is 3.42 Geared from a 95 Formula with 132k miles. the other is from a 95Z-28 with 43K miles on it and Spohn Lower Control arm Relocation brackets welded on. 3.23 Geared. I would take $250 for the formula rear or $300 for the Z rear.Both include all brake parts including e-brake cables. located in Nicholasville, KY. Pick up only...jt

DuronClocker

If ya were closer, I'd probably take that one from the Z from ya.

I have a 3.23 rear that I would be willing to ship. It is complete with brakes and parking brake cables. Shipping would probly run around $125 and I want $250 for it.
