    88 Monte Carlo LS differential

    Well the budget isn't unlimited I have found a reasonable priced 4L80E and it can be controlled from the stock Vortec so that helps. I hope to get the entire 4L80E and yank torque for ~1850 The 10's isn't where I expect the first vrsion to get but say a year or two from now make some...

    88 Monte Carlo LS differential

    I am putting in a 4L80E in the Monte to ensure I can DD the car. Also my definition of a DD is diferent than most, I have two houses one in TN one where I work in AL I often drive between them on weekends. I want to set it and forget it! I would much rather pay alittle more and not worry a...

    Newbie 88 Monte Carlo LS

    Excellent that is exactly what I was looking for. I was going to get an 8.5 from a B Body this Friday but didn't like the problems of shoe horning it in. The total is more than I want to pay but you always pay for convience and it will definately make it bullet proof. I am back thinking of...

    88 Monte Carlo LS differential

    So the differential from a 94 - 96 Caprice (8.5) will work? If so that is great news since I saw one in the boneyard today..

    Newbie 88 Monte Carlo LS

    Thats what I thought. I thought the 7.5 was 26 splines until the 98 LS Camaro then they have 28 splines. I f I touch the differential I will probably modify an 8.8 I am still considering simply putting in an LT1 and make !325 RWHP. That would allow me to also use the 4L60E...but I had...

    Newbie 88 Monte Carlo LS

    I agree I think they will hold to a point but I want to get beyond where I think a 7.5" will comfortably hold. Anyway my question is how many splines do the GBody 7.5" axles have? I ask because the LT1/LS Camaros used a 7.5 and I think the LS is when GM increased the splines on the 7.5" The...

    88 Monte Carlo LS differential

    I now realise the car has 7.5" and have been read about changing etc. My question is how many splines are the axles in our differentials? How many are in LS Camaros? Seems the 7.5 holds up in LS Camaros etc so wondering. Also besides a GN is there a GM 8.5" that will fit our cars? From what...

    Newbie 88 Monte Carlo LS

    I am rethinking the project and may lower the power or change the rearend. I originally thought Monte Carlos all had 8.5 then thought since mine is an LS that only it had 7.5 so this is a major change to what options I thought I had. I bought the car so I will be doing an engine/transmission...

    Newbie 88 Monte Carlo LS

    Newbie and I picked up an 88 today... I plan to do an engine swap etc but first I have a couple basic questions... First it is an 88 with a CARB? I thought 87 and 88 had TBI, this is a problem since I plan to use an FI motor and need to be able to use in tank fuel pump... question is where is...
