yep straight swap, but id go for a 3.45 at least!!!! you need to get your shift point changed, your speedo will be fine. otherwise it will hit the rev limiter underfull throttle :

psst: it's a manual ;) no auto shift pattern issues to worry about! (but get the corresponding speedo calibration cog/gear/whatever to suit the 3.23 ratio)
Diff should bolt up fine. Maybe buy it for the LSD and swap the 3.23s for some 3.9s? |

You will also need the upper trailing arms as that makes the swap a heap easier and the correct speedo gear to get that right.

3.23's are a good ratio nothing wrong with them.
I've been in cars with 3.45's and 3.23's and didnt notice any diff. All comes down to the driver. If you want to see a noticeable difference go bigger like 3.7 4.11's but then there goes your freeway driving out the window. |
