Thread: replacment 82 camaro rearend

Tweet

I am looking for a replacement rear end for my 82 camaro. It has the little 7.5 inch 26 spline chunk and I do not think that it will hold my 406 with 456 gears. I have seen that Currie makes a direct fit 9" rear end with 31 spline axles for around $1500. This is a little out of my price range as I would still need a spool and gears (close to $2000). Anyway, any help is appreciated.
