ToplessZ Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 I found an entire rear end laying around and I need to know if I can use it. It is a viscous lsd unit. There is a sticker on the back of the differentials rear cover that says B17 than underneath that ins small letters it has two japanese or chinese symbols and the numbers 3645. It has 5 lug rear disk breaks and cv axles. IS there any way to determine what this is I want to use it. 75 bucks for the whole thing. ??? Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denny411 Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 It sounds like possibly a toyota supra, or maybe a conquest/starion assembly. How is the size compared to the r180`s or even the r200`s? If it`s smaller than the r200, I wouldn`t recommend using it. You may end up with alot of fab work involed in making it fit, only to have it fail relatively early.

ToplessZ Posted May 15, 2003 Author Share Posted May 15, 2003 Yeah denny Im thinking im with you unfortunatly the price was right but probably not worth the trouble. PS what is your sunday looking like this week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denny411 Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 Refresh me on what stuff you still need so I can have it ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToplessZ Posted May 15, 2003 Author Share Posted May 15, 2003 Well Looks like I need the radiator and fan for sure. Do you have that 700r4 or is that something you could pick up because I need that. I dunno if I could get that in my trunk or not. I was supposed to buy a shortblock from this lewis maudlin guy for 150 but no responses so I dont know whats up with that. Do you think that short block you were talking about is a good idea? I dont think I can afford the 300 extra right now but I do need an engine and hopefully something reliable. Gonna need a driveshaft was kinda hoping aluminum but Ill take whatever works and is cheap at this point. I was also hoping to do the lt1 intake conversion so I still need parts for that.

denny411 Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 The engine I have is complete. It is a good running dependable engine. I just removed it a few weeks ago from my truck. I had modified a late model TBI intake to fit it. After going thru the original engine I reinstalled it and removed this one. I should be able to pick up another 700r4 tommorow or sat. I sold the other one to someone else here when you said you had one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToplessZ Posted May 16, 2003 Author Share Posted May 16, 2003 So this engine has the late model heads. It would make the lt1 intake swap easier. Less holes to drill. I guess I left out that I need an alternator and starter. Maybe it wouldnt be too hard to install a slightly hopped up cam in that engine before I installed it. Yeah if you find a good 700r4 cheap. Ill take it no big deal there. Right now I dont have any way to transport the engine but Maybe I can save up some more cash and work something out. I have a nice set of panasports that I need to clean up and sell then Ill have the cash for that. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denny411 Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 No it has early heads. thats why I had to modify the center intake manifold bolt holes. It already has a hotter cam in it, which is another reason why I swapped it out. With 31" tires and 3;42 gears it would bog down in overdrive at 55, but at 70 it had all kinds of power. I`m pretty sure I have a good starter,alternator and a waterpump if you need them. I`ve also got a good HEI vacume advance distributor if you need one.

denny411 Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 What size are the panasports? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToplessZ Posted May 16, 2003 Author Share Posted May 16, 2003 they are 14's I dont know how wide because they have tires on them. The rears have 265's which if you ask me is too big for the rim but they look ok on there and seem to be wearing fine. they have bfg ta radials all around that are in good shape. The fronts are 215's Yeah Im gonna need all that stuff. The distributor...does it have a remote coil. I need the smaller style for the tpi camaro's I believe in order to do the lt1 swap even if that is at a later time. I may go ahead and take it and try to find a cheap carb intake setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denny411 Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 This distributor has an internal coil. how much are you looking to get for the wheels and tires? Do they have center caps with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToplessZ Posted May 16, 2003 Author Share Posted May 16, 2003 Well I was hoping to get about 400 for the wheels and tires. Yes they have the center caps. The chrome on them isnt perfect but from a foot or two away you cant tell. As for the wheels I polished one of the lips and was hoping to do this all the way around. They are really nice wheels and the tires would be good for quite a bit of use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
