Default Will this rear end work. if not what will it take to work.

The rear end is out of a 1976 ford f150 and will it fit in my 2000 camaro. If not what will it take to make it fit. The rear end is a 9" ford.

Not exactly sure, but you need a place to bolt your torque arm, possibly narrowed. Sounds like alot of fabbing. I'm sure your not the first to ask. Good luck

No it won't fit yes it will take lots of modification if it would work at all. Looks like you have already sunk a good amount of cash into your car, what's another $2500 for a 9 inch that drops right in.

You'd spend more time trying to get everything fabbed up to fit than it would be worth...do it if you wish, but this question comes up a lot, and the people that ask it get discouraged quickly. It is no simple task.

if you looking to do a budget rear just buy the housing and axles from moser for just under a grand then get a center section from a junk yard or ebay. run it till the posi goes or just spool it. or just spend the cash and do it right for the pease of mind...

Haha, what's another $2500? didn't realize dropping $2500 into a car has become something people just over look now.
