View Full Version : Building my 9c1 with AF!!! Building my 9c1 with AF!!! gaboi68 08-24-2006, 12:22 AM Im trying to make a street machine out of my stock 91 350 any suggestions? Blue Bowtie 08-24-2006, 12:45 PM If your '91 has the 8½" 10-bolt, they should work. Be aware that you may need to order a "thick" ring gear if you have a 2-Series carrier. I know the later 9C1s and Impalas have the 8½" Saginaw axle, but I'm not sure about the '91s. If you haven't opened it up for an oil change lately, this might be a good time to do so. gaboi68 08-25-2006, 10:18 AM Thanx for the info....but what exactly do you mean by "thicker"? How do i know if thats what ill be ordering? gaboi68 09-02-2006, 01:22 PM Any suggestions? 96capricemgr 09-02-2006, 04:02 PM what is the current gear ratio? I would suspect2.93 or numerically higher, heck a 9C1 might even be 3.42 already. The comment blue made would not apply then, it is an issue with 2.56 and maybe 2.73. A 9C1 will already have the 8.5" axle but some civilain cars got 7.5" axles. kdrolt 09-02-2006, 07:57 PM He already has GU6 which is 3.42 (std with the LO5 in a 91 9C1). I already suggested keeping the 3.42 and spending the money on something useful (exhaust). 96capricemgr 09-03-2006, 01:23 PM I had 3.42s in my car and for daily use actually prefered them to the 3.73s and this is on a WELL modded LT1 that likes to rev. With the TBI and that fact you already have 3.42s I have to agree stay with them. Related Links Participate in thousands of discussions at AutomotiveForums.com! Registration is absolutely free. |
