Re: 7.5" rear end

I have one under my truck, 360hp, not too heavy of a foot and no probleams. 7.5 was the same that was used in the newer Camaro's My 2002 Camaro had an LS1 with a 7.5 with no problems.

Re: 7.5" rear end

Depends on what its out of, a g-body 7.5 is 26 spline axle and not very strong...... an f-body is 28 spline and a little more durable...

Re: 7.5" rear end
