Hi all! I found a dude on the local Craigslist selling an Auburn posi, Richmond Gear 3.55s and a Richmond install kit for a BOP 8.2. All new in box. He said he would do $700 for all of it. Should I jump on this? Or should I wait and hunt down and build an 8.5 like everyone else does. I was planning on eventually doing 3.42s coupled with 2004R. I already have the trans but this would help speed the process. Parts would retail at $927. From the ad: 10 bolt ring and pinion- PN 49-0082-1 3.55 Richmond gears New/never installed $250 10 bolt LSD/posi PN 542060 Auburn brand New/never installed $430 Install kit PN 83-1040-1 Richmond gear New/unopened $80 What do you think?
Won't work in a 1968-1970 Buick housing which received a pinion diameter of 1.875" The R&P listed has a 1.438" diameter pinion.
Ah thanks for the info! I'm pretty new to rear end stuff, glad I didn't jump the gun!!! The posi carrier would still work though right? Install kit?
