Guest Pegasus76 Posted September 1, 2002 Share Posted September 1, 2002 HEy guys, I was wondering...How hard would it be to swap out the R200 differential with a Camaro rear end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dp351zcar Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 Why would you want the R200 in a camaro? That would be a tough swap, it would be easer to swap solid axle into a Z. There have been a few people who have back halfed their Z's. I am wondering why you could not put subframes in and tie into a ladder bar system in rather than backhalfing the car. Just my thoughts.

Mike C Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 You could subframe it, but basically that's what backhalfing is anyhow. The Camaro rear is too wide, but get it narrowed and buy new axles, no prob. What years are you looking at? The 71-81 8.5" rears are STOUT and available with disc brakes 79-81 in WS-6 TAs. THe 7.5 and 7 5/8 can be made stronger, but are no better than an R200 IMO. I narrowed a '79 Trans Am drum brake housing to put in my friends '93 extended cab S-10 with a 427 ci small block.
