Thanks for the info...I found a 96 z28 rear with posi and 3.23 gears for $150.00 couldn't pass it up...I am having trouble finding a company that makes replacement floor pans...I might have to just patch it up...

maybe find someone w/donor car. H-body.org good place to find info or help. Good luck. Let me know if you need help locating something. Check craigslist and ebay on regular basis.

I have a 74 I am building now and was wondering what rear end did you use for ur's? BTW...Nice car!

@ZionsTrumpet, The rear is a ford 9" ford w/ 3.25 gears now. I bought it narrowed from currie in the 80's. Just replaced the chunk as the one in video is 4.11 w/ spool. Tires in video were 225-60-14, now 205-50-15.

Very nice! My first car was a '74 Vega with a rebuilt engine, but unfortunately, in '96 it became scrap after a bad accident when another driver ran a red light. :(

This video definately brings back memories...

Awsome car man... I have just picked up a 76 GT, thinking of throwing a 406 with a 2 speed.

i have a yellow 73 chevy vega that would be a good project or donor. i don't know about that camaro rear end though you should run lower gears.
