I may have the 3.64 ring gear. The 3.64 pinion gear is fractured. Price = 250.00 plus shipping Location = NC/Mn
I am not qualified to rate its condition. It was in our GSX until the pinion fractured. I will try to get a picture.
Re: 1968-70 8.2 Buick Series 3 Rear End case Sorry guys... my fault, As Jim stated, it was out of his 49K mile GSX.. I had two of them on the shelf, I thought the one with the gear on it was Jim's but it turned out that one had a 2.93 ring gear on it. Jim's had been moved into storage, so I was able to retrieve that yesterday, and here are the pics.. the 3.64 ring gear is gone. It's the 4 pinion unit.
Jim Weise, Do you know the condition of the 4 series posi.... does it need to be rebuilt or can it be installed and run as is? Also, what is the condition of the 3 series posi with the 2.93 ring/pinion.... is it for sale as well and does it need to be rebuilt or can it be installed and run as is? Interested. Thanks, Chuck
Chuck, I do not know the conditon of the cones in the posi unit, I can only tell you that you cannot spin one axle by itself, which is typically the "quick check" of a limited slip type differential. The other case is for one of my cars, and is not for sale. Thanks JW
Pardon the dumb question but will this work in a 65 8.2 rear end? I am a converted Chevy guy and these early BOP rears can be confusing at first. Josh
Buick 1968-70 8.2 gears are not the same as BOP 8.2 gears. The later are remade aftermarket. For the former, one Board member had a limited run made of the 3.42 ratio. There was talk about making a run of 3.64 gears but they are not identical to the original Buick 3.64s. The carriers have a special asymmetrical bearing set up. I think this may be unique to 1968-70 Buicks.
Re: 1968-70 8.2 Buick Series 3 Rear End case Hi Jim, did you find an extra 3.64 ring and pinion? I forgot that when we switched for the 3.23's Thanks, Ted
I am going to pass as I am looking for a 3 series carrier.... BTW, Fabcraft has the repro 3.64 ring/pinion for the 68-70 Buick rear end (with the 1.875 dia. pinion bearing) on eBay now..... http://www.ebay.com/itm/380192613769?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 and the 3.42.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/380146708039?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 I think this is the company that Monzaz had fab. the gears. Thanks, Chuck
Re: 1968-70 8.2 Buick Series 3 Rear End case Sure did Ted.. as soon as the dust settles here I will get them back to you. ---
Bump I noticed that Monaz says he can now machine his reproduction 3.64 gear sets to fit this OEM carrier.
