I've got a 74 2wd and was wondering how strong are the rear ends? I plan on doing a motor swap I like the idea of it already having 4:11 gears but was wondering how much abuse it can take.

 

ALOT,. even though there small pick-ups it's still a half-ton

 

thats a G code rear end.. i think.


whats the axl code in the truck?


the G codes (8in) are about as bullet proof as they come up to around 300hp

 

Ya strong but can you get LSD or traction lock for them, if so where?

 

if you have an 8in, try finding a Supra rear end LSD from teh newer ones, or just get an offroad LSD type diff, someone out there has it i think.

or get an axle thats larger and find a larger better LSD with the 4:11

 

the G code rear end (8in) is the same diff in the 4x4's. so you could get a locker, air locker, electric locker, lsd, spool, mini spool, and on and on and on.


there is a ton of options for the 8in diff.

 

Arn't Supra rearends 7.5"??

 

thats for the MK1 or MKII, i think MKIII and MKIV uses 8"

 

oh F'n wow man you just made my F'n day and are my current hero

i can get diffs for $20 at the junkyard and make my wheeler lsd front and back

 

Ya serious bro?

I need to find a F303 rear end... i got F302

 

hell ya im serious. ive been looking at buying a new diff from a aftermarket company for more traction.

i prefer to get stuff from the yard that does the same thing but cost's a lot less. leaves more money for beer at the end of the day

a mkII supra should have the diff you need, or if the gearing isnt right swap your ring n pinion over.

 

Dood an LSD will do nothing when you lift a tire...

Get a locker...or a couple spare diffs we can weld up.

 

It's a 2wd..... dude i hope he doesn't go off road...

 

Are the splines in the Supra Diff's the same as the axle's on our Yota's???

 

does that mean i can get a LSD diff from a 4x4 model (g series of course) and swap in my 4.11 ratio pinion and ring gear and bung it all together?

 

i F'n hope the splines are correct, then that would mean you can mix and match across all G code diff's.


so the first one to have a mk3 supra diff sitting on their work bench gets to answer the question.


or it might be on google somewhere

 

find me a job and that supra diff wil get there!

 

what years are the mkIII?

 

86-92, BUT i am assured the Pre-86 Supra's LSD can fit.

 

i have a 87 lsd diff, but i'm not sure i should take it apart. the junkyard i go to has several supras with diffs. i think the diff is like $30.
