    NEED AN ANSWER QUICK...REAR GEAR SWAPPING

    You would be better off just taking the whole rearend off..It will only take you a couple of hours if you never did it before..beware of the lower control arm bolts though..they are a PITA to remove!!

    I saw a rebuilt 350 lt1 motor do that before..a Mechanic that worked for my dad rebuilt it and I was there when He started it up..it was using a lot of oil and low compression..He ended up tearing the motor back apart and the problem was the rings..there are I believe 4 rings per cylinder and...

    Do you want a 3.73 rearend?

    I know this is not a tech question but I installed a rear end with 3.73's FMS gears and now my car is too fast to drive! I use the car for a daily driver and the 3.73's are just too much for me..I will trade anyone on here for another rear end with less powerful gears..like 3.27's or 3.08's..I...

    lower control arm bolts

    I dont have access to an air hammer so I guess I will keep trying to beat it out..It probably wont work because it seems the bolt has become one with the bushing..my other option is to go up to summit and see if they have lower control arms and bolts and if they do, I will sawzall the control...
