Rear end
 
Can someone please help me out? I'm trying to figure out this rear end. I was told it was a caddy rear. The only numbers I can find are on the passenger side on the front of tube. They are. 2VL p281D.

not enough ...what do you have? what are you looking for? gear ratio?

Cruiser 83 07-22-2016 06:09 PM

It has a 341 or 342 one of those two. Can't remember. I just need to know what size the ring and pinion is. Would like to put 373 in it.

I'm guessing by your handle you have an 83 it should be a 8 1/2 10 bolt. Cadillac only used 1 axle housing in 83.

Cruiser 83 07-23-2016 07:30 PM

No that's my race car number. Were would the year be stamped on the housing?

ID info stamp on tube, 3.73 not used on Cadillacs. What are you working on exactly?

Cruiser 83 07-24-2016 05:56 PM

I'm just trying to figure out what size ring gear I have so I can put 373 gear in it. Like we're on the tubes would be the numbers that I need to figure this out?

slowroll 07-25-2016 01:09 PM

what year and model? the stamp numbers do tell what size gear it is.

Cruiser 83 07-25-2016 10:12 PM

I have no idea. It's in a race car I purchased. Just trying to figure out what size. 7 1/2. 8 1/2. Etc.
