which gears should i get gonna get LSD but what gears 3.73 or 3.42s also where is the best place to get the 1 piece drive shaft?

 

what an original question

3.73s and a junkyard.

but thats just my opinion. if you do a search you will find other peoples opinions also.

 

Are the drive shafts interchangable i found some on ebay but not sure if it will work

 

auto i'd do 3.73
5 speed i'd do 3.42

 

I like my 3.42s all around for a normal street car, 3.73s may be too aggressive for a 5-speed.

I am jsut giving my info on a 5-speed, since that is what I have, no idea for auto.


As for driveshaft, all driveshafts 82-02 are interchangeable. For what its worth 80% of drivetrain components are interchangeable from 82-02.

Ls1 aluminum ones seem to be the affordable lightweight ones, I have heard them cost $120-170, but usually $150.

Lt1 driveshafts are lighter then the stock 2 piece one but not as light as an ls1 driveshaft only costs abotu $25.

Check the local sections of F-body boards, alot of guys jsut want the old crap out of their garages, then try local junkyards, then try internet junkyards.

I got 2 used tires with 50% tread for free, and a entire stock z28 catback for free, nice even if I jsut used the 2.75 in I-pipe.

junkyards have the tendency to rape you.

 

3.73. You need all the help you can get to make a sixer faster

 

3.42's if u it is just a cruise car, 3.73's for drag racing.
