ok on a 86 camaro it took me about 2.5 hours to put in drag shocks and a traction bar, alone in a cramped garage would that be considered a moderate or easy thing to do with limited tools and alone within 2.5 hours ? and how much harder would it be to put in a 7.5 to 8.8 rear end in a 1990 4cyl 5 speed compared to what i just did

thanks

Sorry I jumped all over you a few days ago, I was out of line and I apologize.
You seem to be a very determined young man, keep it up.

took me about 2 hours to swap rear ends by myself. It isnt too bad of a job as long as you have some power tools.

I would not try it without power tools, maybe a torch, and or a compressor. with these tools It shuld not take longer than 4 hours max.
