solid diff

Recommended Posts

I've been looking and looking for swaps and I haven't been able to find any info I have all the places for parts we are just finishing a MG with a 215 buick v-8 with a 8.8 rear.

I like all the options I get with a 9" cheep parts gears starting out 5.00 $ on ebay unlimited limited slips axle resplining for 109.00 with shipping

right now I have a 355 z with a turbo 350 running low 12.s but I can't stand driving it down the road. 3500- 4000 at 60 with a 3500 b&m stall convertor I have a set of 295-50-15 that look great mocked up to the body.

I would just like to hear from someone who has done it

Thanks

I have a 12 bolt chevy under my car,(check the "WWW" button at bottom).

Not sure what your question is? What I understand is you already have an 8.8 under your car, but you want a 9 inch? If so ,why? The 8.8 is a strong diff, especially under a light car like your MG, + you can get any ratio gears you need. By the way 295-50-15's is what I'm running with a 15 X 10 rim.

too tired to make sense I guess

I still have the R200 and want to change it to a 9" , 8.8 , 10, or 12 bolt rearend I just want to know I guess how different people did the job: four link, ladder setup, or leaf springs. there isn't alot of room for a four link. looks like the four link would only be a foot long. ladder setup would be the same way. the springs wouldn't work in any cofiguration I could think of. Anyway thanks for your site, do you have any pictures fo your Z's rearend swap. I would appreciate it

Thanks

P.S. The MG is the one we are finishing with the 8.8 and the 215 thanks

My Z is the one with the 355

 

How do you like your wheel tire combo?

Thanks Mike that will help out alot

If you don't mind me asking

What length did you cut the Housing?

What gears are you using?

Are you using a limited slip?

What psi springs are you using?

Is there anything you would change now that you are finished?

How is the traction?

What tranny are you using?

Thank you so much this is exactly what I was looking for.

Dang, so many questions!

 

1) It depends on the tire/wheel combo, I think mine was 45" wheel surface to wheel surface.

2) 3:73

3) yes, rebuilt posi

4) progresive 175- 250

5) no, I love it, it handles great

6)good, still working on it, just added linelock to heat my drag radials

7) T56

 

Hope this helps!
