Default gs400 Differential?

Can it be run in a 4th gen? Should it be run in a 4th gen? Over on supraforums, they're running these things on 550rwhp and up cars, so I'd think it could take the abuse of any NA ls engine. Is it close to a direct bolt in, or would significant fab work be necessary? it's no good if it ends up costing more than an 8.8 build.

It's not even remotely close to our rear ends, that is a Toyota/Lexus part. 4th gens have a solid axle rear, and only GM 7.5/7.6 10-bolt differentials can be used inside it. If you are referring to the whole rear end, again, a GS400 is an independent rear car, so it would take a LOT of fab work just to try to make it work.

Unless you mean the '68-'69 Buick GS400, which was a BOP
10-bolt. But that's a factory 4-link and just about any other
incompatible pumpkin would be as "easy" a job to cobble up
fittings (i.e. not).
