First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... I ran a 2.56 rear end (that was stock in my car) with the 2004R for 7 years till I swapped in the 3.23 posi axle (it came off of my 69 coupe and it has disk brakes) and it's perfect! I used to cruise at 70 at about 1350 RPM (the 455 has plenty of low end torque so it didn't care) and now it's at 1800 rpm which is excellent. I can smoke the wheels in first gear and get a nice chirp when it shifts to second. I use a control module made by B&M to control the lockup torque converter and it's real nice since it has a knob to adjust the lockup speed as well as a button to quickly engage and disengage the lockup (for hills or spirited passing).

First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... Hi guys I've been offered to buy a brand new NOS 8.2" limited slip rear gear carrier. It's made for 2,56-2,73 gears but the seller claims I can use 2,93-3,23 gears if I get an adapter ring. Today my Bird has an open 3,08 differential. I feel the need for a posi rear end so I'm really tempted to buy this unit but I'm also in the process of installing a 200R4 transmission. Will the 3.23 gears be to low (numerically) for my combination? /Niklas ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Submissions to Firebird-L: <[email protected]> Unsubscribe from Firebird-L: <[email protected]> Help: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/firebird/Firebird-L.html> Classifieds: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/ubb/> Owner Pictures: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/show/>
