This past spring (of 2001) I did a rear end swap on my car so that I could get a 3.73 gear ratio. I had a 3.45 stock. The swap went pretty well, except for cleaning rust and sludge from the newer 3.73 rear, and assembling the driver's side drum brake. This swap didn't make a huge difference, but it definately helped. It feels much better overall now.. I can actually make it up most hills in 5th gear now!

I apologize that there's not a lot of information in this "article," but this swap was actually pretty easy. I can't think of a whole lot tos say about it. If you have specific questions regarding a rear swap, you can email me at srvblues00@yahoo.com.
