there are a few things you can do . such as welding up the axle tubes , c-clip eliminators , bigger axles a 8.5 ring gear with a stronger carrier . then you just gotta get billet main caps and a t/a girdle . you can probably do all that for right at 1500$ or less . just gotta figure if thats what you really want . when a 12 bolt is only about 5-600$ more . either way you can have a stout rear in your car with a lil effort

um i dont think that the 8.5 ring and pinion will fit in a 7.5 case. the 2 that i own look bigger than the 2 7.5s that i had in my ls1 camaros.
