SS posi rear end under a V6 ?
Has anyone put a rear end out of a wrecked SS under their V6 car. Everyone says the V6 doesn't need a posi/limited slip rear end, not enough power to worry about it. My 71 Camaro that I grew up with had a limited slip and way less h.p. than my 2010 1LT. Why would they think it wouldn't benefit from a limited slip rear end.

If you have a manual then you already have the LS differential same as the SS. If not you can add it, however, I do believe its more than just the rear end swap, not positive though.

So if I found a V6 manual it would have limited slip? Mine is an automatic and I was worried about the gear ratio between a V6 and an SS.

I have an RPM Stage 2 Diff out of a 1LE under mine. Drops in just fine.

The gear ratio will be different but in a good way, into the powerband faster and it will feel much peppier. Bad thing. you will need a tune to re-calibrate the speedo so it reads properly

Is it a "simple" swap to get a manual V6 or V8 rear end into an auto V6? I've read several threads and write-ups on this but, as usual, finding definite info proved difficult (one V8-to-V6 write-up even mentioned something along the lines of the V8 driveshaft possibly fitting - if the guy did the install, how can it possibly fit? It either fit or it didn't!! ).
What is all needed for a swap? Driveshaft, differential, axels, hubs; anything else? Hardware? Does the manual V6/V8 driveshaft connect right up? |

I did a 1le swap into my A6 not too long ago. I needed new hubs, axles, differential, the back half of an ss driveshaft, axle washers, and new axle nuts. I had to take the back half of a SS driveshaft and put it onto the front of my v6 driveshaft as the rear coupling from a V6 is too small/narrow to line up to the input of the differential. The driveshafts separate easily and just slide back together. If you have any other questions feel free to PM me. |

O.K. guys thanks. Sounds like more trouble than just finding a wrecked one and swapping them ;-( I have a Hypertech Max Energy programmer so I could tune it to what ever but I think I'll just stick with what I got. Too many irons in the fire already. 2015 Z71 crew cab, VTX1300c, ZRX1100 and the Camaro. Can't do it all at once.

I grew up on the Judas Priest version in High School. Little did I know the back story about Peter Green and Fleetwood Mac.

So if I have a auto v6 lt/rs 3.27 will the manual v6 lt/rs 3.27 rear just bolt in?
