G-Body 7.5" 3.73 Rearend in Junk Yard

[HyperV6]

Guys, there is a 7.5" 3.73 rearend (I believe it's a posi.) at Taylors junk yard on St. Charles Rock Road in St. Louis. It's in a white 87 Monte Carlo SS. Don't know if anybody wants / needs it but it was there on Saturday 7/21/07. The 7.5" rearend is for lower horsepower cars - 300 or less. But, you could get it cheap. There isn't much left of the car so you better get there.

7 1/2", or 7 5/8" in a MC SS?

All 78-88 Monte's have 7.5" rearends from GM. Craig

"To accent this new transmission the rear axle was changed to a 7-5/8 inch ring-gear, with a new ratio of 3.73:1 from a 7.5 inch, 3.42:1."

From Monte Carlo: ID that SS

Several published sources referenced. This was 1985 through 1988 models.

FWIW...

I was wrong. That's pretty bad since I have a 7 5/8" posi 3.73 in my Monte.
