First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... I have done a LOT of rear gear swaps and set-ups. It is not for the faint of heart.
It would be easiest to accomplish with the rear out of the car. You will need a varied supply of shims for both the back lash and pinion depth. And lot of patience If you want tackle this yourself, I can give you pointers over the phone.

I would still have to buy a posi unit correct? (sorry....just getting my hands dirty in the rear end dept).......wait a minute...that didn't sound good at all.

I've got a set of 3.23 gears, an open carrier (that goes with the 3.23) , and a Richmond bearing/bushing rebuild kit for the 8.2 that I never used when re-building my rear. It's everything you need to move from a 2.x to a good 3.23 ratio. (Remember you have to switch carriers when moving up to the 3.23, since the 8.2 had 3 different carrier classes) I'd make a good deal to anyone that wants to buy. It's just sitting on my shelf.
