I got a buddy who says I can have a compleate 86 Firebird free if I haual away.I still havent got a rear end for my 53'3100 as I am burried deep in patch panels repairing cab.Would this bird rearend be a good transplant with a saginaw 4speed and a 235? If so are the disk brake setup on the bird the same ones that the popular conversision kits use roters-calipers-ect,from Thanks Aaron | | |

If it's between 61 and 62 inches, your good to go. I don't know about the front end though, but I'm sure someone else will chime in soon. Good luck. Also check milage on the bird. May need more work than it's worth. (wheel bearings, seals, gears, etc...) | | |

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | |
