What is the actual name for the Impala axles with the removable center carrier??? I may need to order gears for it, but dont know what rear end to tell them it is... ie; 7.5", 8.5", and so on and so forth...

 

[skandalouz]

they all had a removable carrier!

 

[skandalouz]

your factory gears are probably 3.08 to 1 if that helps.

 

[bigdanmcintosh]

yes they are..

what I'm trying to figure out is what do I look under to find gears for this thing?? I have no idea what the "model designation" is..

the ring gear has an 8.2" diameter. there were 2 different carriers used which depended on axle ratio. your should have the 3.08 to 3.70 carrier with 17 spline axles.
:biggrin:

I wish my shit had 3.08.... My diff is 3.36 and the cover is welded shut.... Isn't your's welded too bigdan ?

Thanks I saved that pic... I didn't even check to see if it would come out the front, duh. HmMmmmmmmmmmmmmm I've been thinking about getting some taller gears.... that guy doing the shortened 9" was looking damn appealing.

how much power you think these rears can handle? Im thinking of swapping the 3.08 for a 3.73 or maybe even 4.11.

I also seen a limited slip setup somewhere as well. I would really like to get something like that.
