Thats exactly what i want to know? looking to upgrade my v6 97 camaro rs. would like3.73 gears, limited slip diff and disc brakes. Thought it be far cheaper to switch out the whole rearend then upgrading old diff. just want to know what problems i might run into.

I did mine a long time ago 3-channel rear.
you will need the emergency brake cables to make this swap work if you want the larger Ls1 brakes to work on your car. other than that it is a straight foward swap that should take a few hours to instal.

you will need the brake lines from the junction block to the calipers Ls1 emergency brake cables to make this swap work if you want the larger Ls1 brakes to work on your car. other than that it is a straight foward swap that should take a few hours to instal.
