Swapped the rear out of an '85 T/A, and also the exhaust while I was at it. The rear is a 9 bolt Borg Warner with disk brakes, the exhaust is a 3" Dynomax cat-back. 
Enjoy...
The previous owner of the T/A told me it was a Dana 40, but oh well. The 3.42 posi is better than the 3.23 open, and I got disk brakes to boot.
Took about 7hrs working by myself, with many breaks
Including one that was about 1 hr long - soccer try outs for my 9yr old was today, and she would have been dissapointed if I didn't go 
She hung for a while today while the youg'uns were naping, then the two boys came out and watched for a bit (2 and 5 yrs old). They all love watching the car being worked on. My 3yr old girl has known what a turbo is for the last 1.5 yrs haha, tomorrow the she wants to watch whill I scavage everything else I can from the white car (she's the "turbo girl").
Now, to get spacers to run the 11" wide Drag-Lites, the 'Bird will have traction!!!
I got the T/A for the low low price of free, and it was running 11's before my friend pulled the motor and trans. I'm sandblasting a set of heads in trade for the T/A, and the T/A's old motor/trans (383ci/700r4) is going in his Vette (78 c3). Then he's giving me the old 350/th400 out of the Vette as well as part of the deal. The 350 is going in Dad's '76 Vette and his all origional motor is going in storage. This way, he can still have a numbers matching setup to compete in the "all original" class, but maybe have a couple mods (cam/springs/porting) while staying under the radar for the judges. Anyways enough ramblin...

Yes, I'm anxious to see what your car will put down with the boost.
