Default Couple driveshaft and rearend questions

I have a 93 z28 with stock driveshaft and rearend. (2.73s)

I am picking up a 95 z28 rearend (3.42s)
Also getting a 3 rivers stock aluminum.

Will the driveshaft bolt right up? He has a m6 I'm a4.

Anything I should do to the rear before putting it back in?

Driveshaft will be a direct swap with no problems. If you are planning on keeping the car on the street then just do a solid pinion bearing spacer in place of the crush sleeve, and install a LPW rear girdle cover. Beyond that with a M6 car the rearend and driveshaft are just a ticking time bomb, especially if you plan on racing it. I would suggest to not run sticky tires as well.

I have a 700r4

The car I'm getting it from was a t56.

I was planning on swapping in 3.73's in my car but it would be just shy of $600. Even the 3.42s will be a big jump from my 2.73s.

I'm paying $250 for the rear and $100 for the driveshaft.
