    Help With Rears

    Well i just assumed it was a posi because every ss i have owned had a posi rear end, I know not all came with a posi but i thought that was one of the perks of it being an ss was the HO motor and posi rear. and being a 1985 it should of been a 3.73 with the overdrive transmission. but I dont...

    the latches and cables should be the same, but on the cutlass and regals the hood hindges are different because the inner fenders are different from montes.

    Help With Rears

    if its a true SS it should be a 3:73 posi. but your carrier depends on the gear ratio so you need to figure that out first. Just take off the diff cover and look at the numbers on the ring gear for example 41 11 is a 3.73, you just divide the ring gears by the pinion gears. the two carrier...

    lowering my 60ft times???

    I do heat them up pretty good, but i was running the pressure at 25 or maybe 20, my 60-ft is a 2.09. i think i just need a better gear ratio cuz im going through the traps at only 4500 rpms.

    exhaust location

    sorry i ment if you ran both pipes under the one hump in the stock crossmember. I used to have mine like that, then i had a buddy bend it under the crossmember, the only prob i had was speed bumps, it would rub. so eventually i bought the g-force one

    exhaust location

    you can get a double hump crossmember from g-force for around 200 bucks. they are really nice, great quality. im running a header back true dual 3inch and it fits real nice. If 200 is out of your budget, i believe jegs makes a double hump crossmember for th350 trans. I wouldnt recommend running...
