First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... Wow, thanks for the quick response!! I'm going to do this, so, does anyone have a good source/supplier for the 3.55 gears and carrier for a locking differential?
Bearings I assume I can get from most any bearing supplier, I've used Detroit Ball Bearing, but does anyone have a TH350 yoke/driveshaft? I do have a source for a custom made driveshaft, but I do not have a source for a TH350 yoke... Thanks in Advance Don Rogers ----------------------------------------- You'll have to change the carrier (at the least). I would also check/replace the bearings while you're at it. On the transmission side, you have the right cross member (you'll have to modify it slightly by elongating the mounting holes) but you'll need a drive shaft and yoke from a TH350 car.

Also looking at putting in a 200-4R for the over drive gear on the highway. I'm hoping someone can point me to a supplier of the 3.55 or 3.36 locking diff that would fit in my '69 2.56 axle carrier. The car is an original 350 2bbl TH400 trans with AC car, I believe this to be most commonly sold with the 2.56 RE. Also, would I need a different axle? Ring/Pinion gears? Thoughts? Recommendations? BTW, the car now has a '68 428 w/#16 heads in it.
