Hi all,

Before I start taking stuff apart, I am wondering if the rear end of a 2000 Z28 (the complete rear end) will work on my 68 camaro. I know there may be some adapting of the perches of course but has it been done before?

I got a 2000 Z28 with an auto tranny so if I can get away with using the rear end also, it would save me a bit off $$. I have the complete car. Thanks.

If anyone has done before, I would appreciate it I got pointed in the right direction.

if you are talking about a oem 4th gen F Body 10 bolt, the question everyone has to be thinking when they read this is why? A 1st gen 10 bolt is much, much stronger than a 4th gen 10 bolt. Bob

He might be hoping for an easy rear disk swap......but yeah, definitely not the way to go strength-wise.....or fit-wise. Aren't the 4th gen rears wider than a 1st gen?

Here is the Moser 9 inch rear that is designed to fit the 1st gen F Body. Bob

It could be done no doubt, but first off you would have to narrow it about 3 inches per side to get it to the stock 67-69 width. That means a custom set of axles and housing work. Then you still end up with a 7.5" rearend as where the stock rearend is an 8.2". The cost difference probably isnt wroth it... if you are mainly looking to use the brakes from the 98-02 rearend, then you would be better off retrofitting them to the stock 8.2 rear. keep in mind the 98-02 brakes will require a 16" or larger wheel.
