Getting the bird close to rolling. But of course there is more.
Now it's time for the rear end. A few guys tell me to install a lock up system in the 8.2 , but I have read some forums that it is not ideal.
I think I would prefer to just swap the entire rear for an 8.5 w/posi. Does anyone have or know of an available complete re built bolt in unit for a 68 coupe ,prefer disc brake ,but drums are ok to. with springs, no problem. geared in 3.08 to 3.23 range. I have a wide ratio low geared 4 speed (3.42 1st)so I was advised to keep these gears. I do have a line on a nice unit out of a 69 camaro just need to put in different gears. but will a 69 axle fit the same? What about shock position and multi spring perches? Are the first gen camaro's the same as 68 Birds. 68 has staggerd shocks correct?
I can find lots of 8.5 diffs but they are all from 2nd gen cars. I do not have the facility to do the mods needed. I will arrange all shipping, the vendor only needs to wrap it and put on pallet, load the truck and sign the papers.OR, any suggestions?
