Stock 1987 turbo needs rebuilt for sale make offer. Thanks

Thanks very much, all of you. Yeah, it's a job we don't often do, and in my many decades of working on both A bodies and G-bodies, I never replaced these rear end mounting bushings. :D

I'm not familiar with that tool. Does it just push the old one out? And if so, how do you install the new one?

I'm thinking about replacing my rear end housing bushings with new urethane units. Has anyone done this job? Can you do it in the car and what is the procedure?

I went again with the Hawk pads. They work extremely well. I ended up getting the front pads, which is what I needed for about $77

Yes! :D

Yeah, that's it. th2004r crossmember for g-body

I would say, yes. After all, they're just about the same engine, same crank, same rods.

I had to have my trans rebuilt a few years ago, and the guy I had do it told me he had done quite a few 700s in his day, so, being the Buick chauvinist I am, I told him what Lonnie had said. He didn't believe or agree with me due to his apparent immersion in chevy legend as most people are, but...

Pretty sure the F-bodies all have 7.5 rears anyway.

Hard pedal with vacuum assist means the booster is likely leaking off the vacuum. That's the hissing sound you hear.

Do you think it's too busy here? :D

Sorry about being slow to respond. The only question I asked was based on a Facebook commenter trying to tell me that the larger the number used to identify GM transmissions attributed to the strength of that transmission. 350 to 400 -- Of course we all know that a 400 is stronger than a 350...

do I understand completely and it has worked well for you. Not a thing wrong with that. Most of us would have done the same thing. ;)
