chevy 8.5 rear in 84 rx7 questions
so im working on a swap for my rx7, it was a 12a (just the shell) so i put a chevy in it and i dont want to keep the open diff rear end so im thinking on putting the chevy s10 g80 locker in the back of it.
Im wondering if the rear end would fit in the back, would the driveshaft line up still or will it be off to the side, all i care about is if itll acually line up right. i know im going to have to weld and cut. i looked on the forums and all ive found out that people have done it but nobody pointed out how they did it and how difficult it was, itll give me a 3.43 rear gear ratio, is it worth it? (itll also let me get aftermarket rims for the rear of the car too)
