I am going to swap a turbo coupe rear end with 3:73s into my car.
What am i going to need? I know i will need a master cylidnder.
What tools/ parts/ work am i going to need to do this??
It is just the rear end no control arms or anything.
Please help me, i have little money and little time and i cant afford to waste either.

Are you getting this rear from the guy up in Ft Collins?

http://svo73mm.cjb.net is a good place to start for the brake side of things. The rest is just unbolting the rear from the control arms, unhooking e-brake cables and the body brake line, and detaching the driveshaft (use a torch on those bolts, they've got red Loctite on them). Reverse to install.

you will need a 3 dollar fitting for the brakes which any clutch/brake/machine shop will have. and if you want to keep your ebrake you will need an svo/cobra cable. otherwise it bolts right in.
