gears

well heres how i see it, it dosnt HURT performance, and gives you better gas mileage. so its not like cutting off a smog pump or anything, its the best of both worlds, anyone telling you not to run it is stuck in the past. technology is great

[korndogg]

but that also means i have to run wires....its a 68...less wires the better

[Dober89]

Yea a 9 bolt, you know the stronger rear end that came in lots of 87-89 Irocs...

[89IROC&RS]

oh you mean the Borg Warner rear, ok, sorry never heard it called a 9 bolt, i was thinkin 9 inch i actually have that rear in my IROC with disk brakes

[89IROC&RS]

as far as running the wires for the lockup converter.... with gas prices going the way they are, id say its worth the effort. lol

[korndogg]

lol true

[Dober89]

9 bolt rear ends kick ass! Im just waiting for my fancy pants aluminum stud cover girdle and then mines all set.

[89IROC&RS]

yeah, im lookin at upgrading to 3.27 gears, theres a GTA down the street, but they want to sell me the whole rear, instead of the diff and gears, and i dont really need the whole damn thing. and an aluminum stud girdle. i think those rears use a 7.75in ring gear or somethin. over the stock 7.5-7.625in ring gear.

its not that big of a deal to run the wires for it. its gunna cost you some money but its not complicated. there are many different kits to do it but its simple. and like i said along time ago i would also recamend running a lockup.

[Dober89]

Yea I just picked up a 3.27 rearend a couple months ago. I just gotta swap my brakes over and throw it in. The aluminum diff cover wont be done for another couple months though so I have to wait for that.
