3.27 Camaro Axle Swap on the PPV !

[@bbgjimmy6455]

People sleeping on you bro one day you gonna blow up I love your videos please don’t stop

[@repairandsharegarage]

Thanks for watching; I appreciate that!

[@WIDESIDE72]

I would recommend checking the diff fluid BEFORE installing the diff. That way’s if big chunks of metal are present, you’re aware of it before going to all the trouble.

[@yahmings23]

Please do a rear wheel alignment when you install the 3.27 or 3.45 differential swap.

[@robotafflicition]

Awesome stuff, I need to do this swap my LSD isn’t limiting the slip anymore lol

[@repairandsharegarage]

Kind of a dirty job but no too bad

[@peanutbright4027]

🔥 keep the videos coming!!

[@repairandsharegarage]

Thanks for watching can’t wait to shred some tires with this one

[@repairandsharegarage]

Posting a update later tonight hopefully!

[@271W4]

Would you have been able to get the bolt out if you had dropped the exhaust to begin with? Asking because I’m about to do this same swap

[@repairandsharegarage]

Yeah , sometimes a little work up front makes everything go smoother. I would recommend dropping exhaust. Once I got the e brake cable further out the way it gave more room to wiggle it out also

[@jasonmiller9902]

Thank you for asking that, Im sitting here a little late in the day on my day off at work contemplating this swap and unsure I want to get into it today.

[@DrivenbySean]

do i have to run specific brakes if i change to 5th gen camaro axels

[@fabiancaballero375]

Do you have to run Camaro axles or can you run stock caprice ones

[@repairandsharegarage]

Stock ones will work with it

[@lilmacu23]

​@@repairandsharegaragecan we run Camaro axles since they got all the upgrades

[@ChevyARt15]

Did you do an alignment? Someone else suggested that.

[@repairandsharegarage]

@@ChevyARt15 not right away, I probably should have though

[@Capriceppv178]

Does this require a trans tune? Eyeballing a good deal on a 3.27 but don’t want to snow ball into lots of extra stuff

[@repairandsharegarage]

I didn’t get a trans tune , seemed to be just fine. Few months later got a tune when I did the LSA.

[@GrandPitoVic]

Nice brother. That hog head looks way beefier then the stock one.

[@repairandsharegarage]

Thanks, should hold the power from the LSA going on better

[@ratiotuner5776]

What is a good price for 3.27 gears. I've seen 360.00 for a v6 or 800 for the SS??

[@repairandsharegarage]

I sourced mine from LKQ they shipped it in pretty cheap, can’t remember but it was like $200 , mine was from a manual trans v6 , so had the larger ring gear

[@DannyMac357]

@@repairandsharegaragedo you have the link for that?

[@repairandsharegarage]

[@Swaps-n-Stuff77]

Good information

[@tywilliams9166]

Did you use stock ppv axle shafts? And does it need to be tuned with diff change before driving?

[@repairandsharegarage]

Yeah stock ppv axles and I didn’t get it tuned right away seemed ok . I have a tune uploaded now though since installing the LSA

[@mmcnew1]

Noticable difference?

[@repairandsharegarage]

Yeah cars not as sluggish off starts for sure , really did it for the lager ring gear in preparation for LSA power

[@ryanb.9197]

How much would this cost at a shop if I have a diff already?

[@repairandsharegarage]

I’m going to conservatively guess they will charge 3-4 hours for removal and replacement. Not sure on labor rates in your area? Maybe around $140/hr ?

[@ronniehigginbotham7429]

Hey brother it’s me again I did the swap but now the cv axel won’t go into camaro diff 🤦‍♂️😮‍💨

[@ronniehigginbotham7429]

It act like it won’t even fit into hole to come close to teeth on the inner part of bc shaft

[@ronniehigginbotham7429]

Cv shaft

[@repairandsharegarage]

Thats a pain, do you still have the other axles to compare them too?

[@ronniehigginbotham7429]

No took back bc I couldn’t use them

[@baddaddy8718]

HSV grange runs a ZF 3.7 rear end…..that’s the hi po Aussie version

[@repairandsharegarage]

That’s a beefy unit, I’d like to get a deal on one of those.

[@ballingonabudgetlsbuilder5930]

Does it matter if it comes out the v6

[@repairandsharegarage]

No it doesn’t as long it was a manual trans v6. All the manuals cam with bigger diff and all the v8’s

[@ronniehigginbotham7429]

I have quick question if I was to do the swap can I use the camaro cv axels bc I no yu said stock ppv would work idk if it was vice verse a bc my caprice cv axels are bad an can’t find place to buy new ones

[@ronniehigginbotham7429]

Also Hurd used ones was gonna caust me as much as the swap itself bc I found one for 300 rear with cv axels

[@repairandsharegarage]

It should work , I’m not 100% sure because I’ve never done it that way around but all the components seem to be compatible back there between the cars.

[@ronniehigginbotham7429]

Awesome I really appreciate it I figured I’d jus buy new ones for Camaro they don’t fit I can take back an go back to drawing board worse come to worse 🤷‍♂️ again thanks for your help

[@WIDESIDE72]

Nice video in the process. HOWEVER, am I the only one cringing when he puts a cheater pipe on the flex head ratchet? Oof. I see busted knuckles in someone’s future.

[@EAGLEHORDER]

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN "E BRAKE" ITS CALLED A "PARKING BRAKE" ON EVERY CAR /TRUCK /SUV/ SUT/ VEHICLE EVER MADE! LOL
