everything "should" transfer to a different rear end if it was built to f-body specs. As for hooking, lca's, lca relocation brackets, shocks, sfcs, and a phb would help the best. To hook good though you'll need stickier tires which may jepordize your 10bolt for the time being.


Im not positive is LCA relocation brackets are universal between rears though

The relocation brackets are different for 10/12 bolts. You should be fine with everything else.

Good advice from the guys above. As an example of interchange-ability, we just received a Moser 9" and a Moser M9, both of which bolt right in with no pickup point mods.

As a side note, we have a similar car with amazingly the same mods you describe. It ran low 11's before we got invited to leave (no cage and it's a 'vert

And yes, check with us on relo brackets to be sure.

Oops, misfire on the post. Anyway, it has 10's in it with some tuning. Forward traction is amazing w Nitto 555's. Jerry said it actually pulled the motor down launching at 5000.

In conclusion, unless you do something crazy with your rear brackets, you should be good to go.

Quick answer to one of your questions Brandon. The 4th Gens have what GM termed a SLA front suspension, aka Short Long arm. The upper arm is indeed short while the lower is about twice as long. So, it's not a strut car like the third gens were...

more soon
