Looking for suggestions


I am putting a LT1 and A4 out of a '97 Z28 into my '80 Camaro Coupe. I will probably replace the suspension parts with '80 Z28 parts as I hear it's suspension was pretty good. I need some advice on what to replace the rear end with. This will be one of my 'just for fun' cars, and the motor will not remain stock for long. What rear could I install that I wouldn't have to worry about breaking the first few times I take it to the track? I'm also thinging 411's. Of course I'm not looking to spend more on the tranny than I bought the car for. Any suggestions?

Your 10 bolt properly perpared should do just fine. If you want to spend money then 9" or 12 bolt form one of the aftermarket dealers will do.

You know your dragging your feet repainting your car when you go to get more supplies and they tell you they don't make that stuff anymore!
