Rear end swap in '97 V6

I am jsut wondering how hard it is to swap in a whole rear axle with the disc brakes from a Z28 to a V6 camaro. will there be any type of modification needed or is it basically a straight swap?

Its a straight swap. The only thing that might take a bit of time is the brakes.

Make sure that if your car doesn't have traction control that the rear doesn't have traction control. Other than that straight swap... use ebrake cables from the new rear an the brake lines frm the car

As long as you get the rear-end from a 96-97 camaro or trans am... I have a 97' Trans AM and I am doing a complete conversion to an ls1 rear end with the Zexel unit with 3.42 gears and you have to switch brakes, e-brake lines evrything is pretty much differnt but the swap itself is pretty simple once you have all the parts. I have my stock rear-end with Strange 3.73 gears already in it. It was making some what of a weird noise when i removed it. I think the pinion nut got tightened to much or something but I will sell it if anyone wants it.

So i cant use the rear end off a 2001? I found one on ebay, but it was 201. those have traction control though, dont they?

if im looking for a 94-97 one, in what range should i be looking to pay for it?

well the traction control is only applied to the brakes, its not built into the rear end. There is a motorized pump that can put pressure in the brake lines to the calipers, so thats not really an issue as far as the physical hardware of the rear end. Swapping the traction control rear into an earlier rear end shouldnt have any negative side effects. just make sure you get the proportioning valve and master cylender from the disk brake equipped rear end because its going to be different from a drum brake master cylender.

yes you can use a rear end from a 2001 but you have to remember that you will have to buy the brake set-up for a 98-02 trans am also... thats really the only difference though. And also you need the proportioning valve and master cylinder from the disk brake equipped rear end, like he said. If you decide to upgrade and use the LS1 brakes they are better anyway...they are a lil bit bigger and stop alot better......

You do not need a different proportioning valve or master cylinder. They are the same GM part number for the drum and disc cars.

Because of the brake lines, brake sizes, and other things if you have a 93-97 car get a rear from an LT1 f-body, and if your car is 98-02 get an LS1 rear. It will be much easier.

And as for traction control, the NON-traction control cars have 3 channel ABS. The traction control cars have a 4 channel ABS. That said, if you get the wrong one (or are sent the wrong one, but put it in cuz you just want your damn car running, FUCK YOU contemporary corvette), then say hellow to your "ABS INOP" light (Anyone disagreeing is welcome to come to my house and make the light go away/my ABS work again)

thanks guys, found out the car is not totalled, and it is gonna be fixed by insurance at the dealership, so they are gonna put in the original rear end. so there goes that idea.
