Hi, I have a quick question. If I put a small block chevy motor into a luv, would A 1970-1980 camaro tranny, drive shaft, and rear end bolt right in? Would the drive shaft of rear end need to be shortened? Thanks for all your help!!

i have a 74 camaro and i would think there would be a few mods needed to get it in there. nothings really going to just be a bolt in and go thing with a luv.papa g on the site is running a 350/350 setup with a camaro rearend he would be the guy to talk to

No luv right now =(

Take some measurements. Mine is all Camaro, except the automatic shifter, even the radiator, which is a little too wide, but it has the automatic trans cooler in it.. The rear end is a little wide, so my tires stick out a little. My tires are later model Stock 16 inch Mag wheels. A little more offset and they would be under the bed. It is not up here at the house we rent, it is at our house we own. It will be a while before I go down there, but I hope to bring it back with me. If I remember right the axle housing sticks out a couple of inches past the U-bolts It may be 6" but not too bad. My is just a street driver now. If that really changes I may save up and go with something else. I don't have a picture from the underside on the internet.

I don't think you can tell much by this picture. I think it is about 1/2 a thread wide, maybe a tread wide. It has been to long since I have seen it.

I am using a 2000 S10 rearend and it fits without much change in width. And as far as I know the camaro drive shaft is the same ujoint size.

papaG that would be a bit of a pig to drive wouldnt it????

Would under steer like a bitch and go into massive opposite lock when you stick the right foot to it.

I do have to turn the wheel when I try to turn right or left . It hooks up ok. I have only had the 16" Tires on the rear. It will spin both 16"s.
