The SS and Caprice came with 2 axle lengths.
SS are a few mm longer.
No problem fitting 30x9 slicks.
I have rare Centerlines wheels with 3.5 backspacing.
Wagons have even longer axle.

I do have a complete 8.5 rear for sale.
4.56, Moser axles, ARP studs, mini spool.
disk brake to disk brake.
Have a PowerTrak in box.

My bad- I was reading the wrong line when I scrolled right to see the pounds per horsepower.

It is in fact 14.87 pounds per horsepower for the '94-'96 Chevy and Buick LT1 B-wagons, making them natural N cars, which would save me the expense of a roll bar and 2-year driver's harness.

I'm gonna go back and edit my previous posts, to eliminate the incorrect information.

Okay, so the N/SA index is 13.00, and the record is currently 11.99 @108 or so. Sounds like I'm looking at about a 5.57 rear gear for starters...

I really doubt it would want that much. Maybe 5.13.

Billy Nees. I have one of these wagons in stock.
Hmmm. Winter project?

Az Classic car site on facebook has a 92 Chevy Wagon, running driving with lt1 for 2800. Car looks pretty good.

The LT1 wasn't introduced until 1994.

A lot of booger-eating crystal meth tweakers advertise their TBI 305 or 350 '91-'93 B-body GM cars as being "LT1" equipped.

They are among the same demographic that tends to refer to aftermarket wheels using the words "custom" and "rims"...

Put 5.13’s in my SS.
Running 28inch tire, locking converter at 98mph.
If I go with a 8inch converter will go to a 30 inch tire.
Turn off the lock up.

N/SA you will be close to 4500lbs.

Sounds like you're doing your homework..That's good.
Just be careful who you listen to..This won't be a pure stocker.
OD trans planetaries and clutches and LU converters have no business in a good K/SA car. You'll leave too much ET on the table.
I think you already know that. ;-)
