ZL1 differential swap in SS - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I recently purchased a used ZL1 diff. Those who have did the swap the 2 RDM plugs in the kit are for the coolant lines if your not running them. But what is this plug on top of differential? Mine seems to be broken.

Probably breather. There is a black hose that attaches and clips into a white plastic clip on the cradle.

You wouldn't know part number to that breather cap? The tip of that has broken off I guess in transit.

Call me I have some new diff bushings that are a must for these cars IMO.You need axles and a driveshaft anyway lol

No I don't actually run one. I've just been looking in case I ever take it to the next level.

The dealership might be able to help. I'm sure it's only around $10-15, which is expensive for a fitting, but what is your search time worth.

I found part number 92244508 only 7$

So how did the swap go? What lines up and what doesn't? I just bought a zl1 rear and am planning on the install?

GTKILLER · 03-19-2015, 06:26 PM

I haven't installed it yet still deciding if I'm going TH-400 or stick with manual transmission.

I am using g-force 1500hp axels, and the stock driveshaft for now.

You do know the ss stuff will not work right?..the zl1 takes a specific inner stub and axle length.

Thomas, drive shaft from a auto ZL1 tranny(in an SS) to an OEM diff. Suggestions?
