Re: 3rd gen camaro rearend
The 9 bolt came in 5.7 Formula Firebirds for sure ,got one on the driveway. By time I got my 305 running in my 83' Camaro it had a 2.75 low gear trans, 5.13 gears, and a 5200 stall converter. If you think you can throw that, and slicks, at a 7.5 and not worry about it about it I would say you are fooling yourself. And that engine dyno'd at 345 hp, there's a good chance you will make more. Go with the Chevelle 12-bolt if you don't have the money for a complete Moser, you won't find the gear you want with a 9 bolt. I might still go to the Moser in my car. Build the suspension in the car solid, you might want to do something different with it later as life situations and locations change. I got a 385 Vortec head SBC in mine now and bracket race it.
