81-83 GSL. NOT SE. Limited Slip Dif. W/disc brakes, or if you dont

want to change the whole rear-end you can swap just the Dif. This

swap will retain the stock 4x110mm bolt patern.

If you choose the complete swap don't forget the E-brake cables."

i was told by a couple of guys that i have to modify my tailshaft. well what do i have to modify specificly? and is this true that i can use this rear-end, because i already have this rear-end.
You need to modify its length, because the T2 tranny is a different size. Also you may decide to get servicable u-joints on it too.

yeah thats what i'm gonna do, i'm gonna get the turbo 2 rad and run that with a black magic fan or fal. dont know how many cfms though, i think 2000 will be more then enough. ohh and does anyone know if (but i some-what doubt it) the turbo 2 hood would fit on an fb? if not then i guess i'll make my own vented hood.

A turbo 2 hood does not work on a FB you can get the that scoop from CP Racing tho.Second off if you plan to run a FC rad your going to have the fun of more custom mounts.I'm running a SE rad with my T2 motor.

keep the 12a rad, you don't need to put in a T2 radiator.
