foremalaZ Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 i have been researching and been thinking about possibly installing a ford 5.0 into my 83 280zx. i was just wondering what rear end i should use. im a pretty sure the turbo models came with a different rear end than the n/a. is this true and if so could i get one of these. if not what else is everyone else doing. thanks for any info. foremalaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueovalz Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 You'll get gobs of information on a search for the R200. I believe most 280ZXs had an R200. Some had the R180 (automatic?), and the Turbo ZX had the R200, but had the more robust CV jointed halfshafts instead of the usual U-Jointed shafts. The R200 is plenty strong for even a well built SBF, but the R180 will be questionable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
