El Camino rear end
Hi fellas.
my dad's asked me for help on one of his vehicles. He's getting too old to be wrenching much anymore, but he wants to swap the rear end.
It's an Opel GT with a GM 305 swapped. The rear end is locked with a spool and doesn't like to do anything but go in a straight line. All he told me Is It's a 10bolt diff with shortened axles and it's out of an El Camino originally. I'm not familiar with Chevy stuff but from the info I've found I think it's a 7.5".
He wants a LSD diff. We want to reuse the axles as they fit the car. I understand they are probably 26 spline.
What vehicles should I be checking out to find a LSD replacement?
Thanks,
Steve
