Post 82-92 camaro rear end upgrade

I was wondering if there was anyone out there that could tell me what 12 bolt rear i would be looking for, to best fit into my camaro, i know there is some welding and fabrication involved, im just wondering which rear would be the easiest to start with.

as long as the axels are the right length. You just gotta weld on the mounts.

I would just spend the money to up grade the rear you already have.Gm produced 7.5 rears with posi and up to 3:73 gear ratios for 82-92 camaros\firebids.You can order every thing you need from jegs.com

With that much HP, you may want to get an aftermarket 12 Bolt or Ford 9 inch built for you car. Check Currie, Drive Train Direct etc.
